AP and James

Well, plans for a couple of hours of play with the clan were scuppered as my alarm didn't wake us (because I had apparently switched it to silent last night!), so we woke, dressed and rammed the car full of all of our stuff and made a fairly swift exit, in order to get home at a reasonable time.

Then the M25 ruined that plan.  Two hours to get from Jnc 7 to Jnc 16 - normally takes about 40 minutes on a good run.  

The rest of the journey was uneventful and we made it to the residence of  AP (this is how Dad signs himself off on email.  For those of you familiar with Great Expectations, you will know what it stands for!).  Never was a cup of tea so gratefully received!

Put the world to rights for an hour or so and then returned to the roads thinking it would be a straightforward trundle back up to sunny Warrington from an equally sunny Crewe.

Wrong!

Am firmly plonked on the sofa now, awaiting pizza delivery and having ordered some products from the interweb that Dad recommended for joint issues.  Am going to see if it helps with the hip pain that I am experiencing.

So, it was lovely to see everyone this weekend.  Thanks for hospitality from both households :-)
