Kempton Park
Tuesday 27th December 2016
I had been keen to go and see some boxing day races the day before, but alas it had just been too awkward to get anywhere without the trains running. As it happens though Kempton Park ran a two day event, and the second day was very family oriented, so I took Erika along too.

Back at home now, and I thought it a good opportunity to get some pictures of my racing attire, which was a bit wasted on the crowd at Kempton.

Swapped hats here. I hadn't managed to find any Champagne at Kempton so had to wait until we got home.

This personalized bottle of Fortnum and Mason Champagne was a Christmas present from Chie and Erika, which was rather nice.
