We’re coming up to the Easter Mid-point and if I’ve done my driving successfully, I won’t be in Birmingham. But things on this blog progress no matter what – therefore it’s time for Last Week at Economy Class and Beyond.
If it’s the Bank Holiday Weekend, I’ve got to at Newport Pagnell services

Next Week
With it being Easter and Bank Holiday Monday, we’re taking things a little easy over the next few days at the blog, whilst I start to build out the next things in planning.
We’ll be concluding the trip report next week (all things being equal), as well as containing our regular news coverage, views and anything else that grabs my eye.
Until then – Happy Easter if you are celebrating it. For everyone else, have a great weekend!
