Firstly my sincere thanks to all those who made this trip so successful! It was an unbelievable experience for one of limited fettling experience, enormously helped by having the "friends forum in the tool box!
I am back safely and "Babushka" comes sailing in this week i hope to Southampton. (If anyone is in the area and fancies a trip to welcome her home please let me know. (07704140884)
Now involved in the final video and book which I hope will spread the Joy of the Seven even further.
I have to say I have nothing but praise for all the people of Russia including the army, the police and the authorities who were so helpful and supportive.
The welcome i received in Japan was equally superb but of a different nature, as the classic car contingent could not have been more kind and enthusiastic! I am even an honorary half member of the Austin Healey club of Japan! and have the badge to prove it!
To sow further seeds in new pastures, and if i can attract funding,I am keen to produce a small set of childrens books which will be in two languages and multi media in style, linked to the true story. Babushka goes to Moscow, Babushka goes to Tokyo etc.
I intend to do the photos and film of Babushka goes to Paris at the end of January 2020 and would appreciate any advice on the "Crit air Vignette" situation for historic vehicles.( Voiture de collection)
Thanks again. For a short time some of the silliness is still on You tube: " celebrate the seven the epic adventure"
Where next? That is the question!
Cheers
Chris Blakey.
