I've been driving back and forth to the factory for the last couple of weeks and the 3 hour round commute has been wearing me down. I know it has been because I've been snapping at Lando and feeling exhausted when I arrive home. Today however is Saturday, I'm spending the day with Lando and I couldn't be more excited.

I roll over to face my curly haired boy who shocks me by having his eyes open. "Morning Beautiful girl" he tells me tucking a strand of hair behind my ear "morning baby" he smiles "what do you want to do today?" He asks and I have absolutely no idea! I shrug "I don't mind as long as I'm spending the day with you" he kisses me softly "well I have some ideas!" He suddenly jumps out of the bed in a burst of energy, I roll my eyes as he manages to stub his toe on the edge of the bed in the process. "Clumsy!" I shout as he walks out of the room "you are one to talk!" He shouts back leaving me chuckling on the bed.

Once we both manage to get ourselves showered and dressed, I head downstairs to find Lando in the kitchen. "Are you making breakfast?" I ask as I walk over peeping around his shoulder "I am, so please sit down" I hold my hands up walking towards the kitchen island. I pop myself on one of the bar stools and watch my clumsy boy struggle with the breakfasts he is making "can I help?" He shakes his head "nope, you always make breakfast! It's my turn today" he says spinning round holding two plates of pancakes! "Should I not tell Jon about this?" I question and he sends me a cheeky grin "actually they are banana protein pancakes, with natural yogurt, honey and fresh berries so they are allowed" he tells me proudly and I feel proud of him too.

I place my cutlery down on my now empty plate "they were amazing Lands, thank you" I say kissing his cheek and then his neck "they really were" he sounds surprised and I know it's because he usually struggles to cook. "So what is the plan for today?" He grins at me "we need to get in the car, in the McLaren" hmmm so we don't need any boot space, I nod my head getting up and going into the hallway to grab my trainers "Jon and Charlotte are going to meet us later on if that is okay?" I nod immediately, since moving teams I rarely see either of them as when Jon is here for training I'm now usually at the factory. We wander out of the front door wrapped up in hats and scarves, both of us completely hate the cold. "It's bloody freezing!" I complain at Lando whose lips are turning blue "I will get the heating on" he tells me unlocking the car and sliding into the drivers seat, I follow suit and pop my handbag at my feet. Lando pops on a playlist and look up at the middle console and see it's one I've made on his Spotify account, Drake starts playing and Lando shoots me a look "what? I love Drake" I say settling back in my seat.

We've been in the car for around and hour and it's been the familiar route to the factory "please tell me we aren't going to work today?" He laughs at my suspicion "of course not, we are headed somewhere you have always wanted to go" he tells me and my mind races through all of the different things I've always wanted to do, we are headed into F1 homeland at the moment. Around here are the bases for quite a few F1 teams and it's also where Silverstone is! We have just passed Brackley and I am seeing the signs for the circuit but we can't be going there as we go every year with F1 so it's somewhere I've been before.  My confusion continues as we pull into the circuit and Lando parks up "we are here" he announces and I look over at him completely confused "we've been here many times over the years Lando" I say and he laughs "come on just get out of the car" I do as I'm told and I am immediately hit with the freezing wind, this is definitely a day to be curled up in front of the TV with a blanket watching the horrible weather. Yet silverstone always feels like home, it is my happiest place, racing, friends, family all the good memories are here! I pull my coat tighter around me as Lando stands beside me "come on let's go" he tells me and we walk hand in hand towards the Silverstone experience! Of course, I've always wanted to come and see all of the motorsport history they show here! "Took you long enough to figure it out" Lando tells me as we step into the building and I immediately feel the warmth that comes with it.
