Today, it was off to England again with sister Pam, leaving Crispycat Towers behind... 

Anne and I drove to my mum's in Loanhead to pick her up - sister Sheila was also in attendance to bid us farewell...

Then we were on our way, the milder weather allowing us to shave a few miles off our journey by taking "the Biggar road" rather than going via Glasgow as we did last week...

Pam took advantage of her passenger mirror to try and hide her black eyes!

Soon, we were in England and on to the M6...

We lunched again at Westmoreland but this time it was so foggy, no pics were taken...

The M6 turned into a nghtmare around Manchester with very long and frustrating traffic jams...

The situation was repeated on the M1...

...with the result that, despite a shorter route and with only one hour's worth of rest time instead of two, we took just as long as the journey up last Monday - having left at 11:08, we arrived in Hemel at 8:08...

There was no apparent reason for any of the jams - other than signs which might be paraphrased as saying "there's a chance of a traffic jam so you better slow down" - so everyone did and, hey presto, there were jams...

Putting all the stress of the journey behind us, we headed to Domino's for a couple of tasty pizzas...

...before settling back in to Pam's house...


I think she's glad to be home again, although she had a great and quite restful time up in Scotland...

Highlight of the Day : Finally arriving...
