I was lucky enough to attend the Goodwood revival festival this year as a guest of Ralph Lauren, thanks to my husband's love for fashion. We were located in the beautiful Salvadori area, whilst being wined and dined in a way that you would expect from Ralph Lauren. One thing that couldn't be controlled by Mr Lauren of course was the weather. It rained and pored and drizzled all day long. The rain eventually held back for a while at around 3.30pm so a few of us quickly trotted off to the Pit stop area to see the vintage cars up close and personal. I must admit, I'm not a huge lover of cars, but these cars were art, so impeccably designed with beauty. I found out that the cars were made in small numbers and the ones that were left were here to be adored at the Goodwood festival. Not only were they here to be looked at and admired by car enthusiast and anyone who appreciates their beauty, they were here to be raced in their full integrity on a dangerous track in the torrential rain. I now understand why people travel to the Goodwood festival year upon year. It is unique, a kind of kinaesthetic art gallery where you get to mingle with interesting people. Of course, the fashion is great too! I will definitely be back again.
