A day out at Ascot

Invited by Titanic Belfast, I spent last Saturday at Ascot. Complete with viewing from and dining in a private box and access to the award ceremony for the race sponsored by Titanic Belfast. 

I'd never been to Ascot, not sure what I expected but it was somehow more grand and pretty. Unfortunately, I didn't win any of my bets... I really should have stuck with my instinct! Next time, I shall decide who to bet on before I go and then stick with it. Which of course is no guarantee for winning either.

Anyhow, except for the fact that A got a migraine and spent 2 hours or so in the medical room and thus missed out on half the races, it really was a great day!
