We then headed off to the wake. Scoobs and I were the first to arrive. Scoobs could not resist the lure of an empty car park , so set off to do a few laps and finish off his chicken strips - Tim (King of Cadnam GP circuit) would have approved. A drink, lots of food, a few more tears and a wee dram followed soon after as we toasted one of the nicest blokes I have ever had the pleasure of meeting.

Scoobs and I then had a good ride home in the cool, dark air, at just the sort of pace that Teejey would have appreciated.

Rest in peace buddy.
