We decided not to book a vendor stand, but instead we were invited to join some friends who had their race teams there. This is the first time that I’ve actually managed to take in the event, and it is frankly vast and astounding! The vintage cars, motorcycles, aircraft, and spectators!!!!

My friend Anna, our friends from Vancouver Matt and Anne, and our friend Alan from Shropshire joined us at the townhouse we rent each year on the English coast.

Matt is actually an official Goodwood Revival photographer, so he was working all weekend at the event.
On Friday, September 12th, Nico and I wandered around getting our bearings and taking photos.

For the following days, we wandered around sketching what we found interesting, and tracking down our friends here and there.

Live sketching really attracts the curious, and it was lots of fun to interact with the spectators and answer their questions. It actually led to a few commissions, which are always great.
On Sunday, my dear friend Vicki organized a tour of the track for us in Nick's 1958 Xk150!!!!
In the evening, we would all gather in a great local restaurant like the Pizza Pasta Pub for great hospitality, food and service, or the Bracklesham Diner for fabulous Chinese cuisine!

We are all looking forward to next year!!!
