Record breaking

Backblip

While MrRoly, The Boy, Hugh Fearnley Whittingstall and Adamski went to Trent Bridge to watch England break more records, I drove.

The first leg involved driving from Nottingham to Selby. Only the A1 was shut so we detoured via Doncaster and the 1 hour journey took 2 hours. We collected my Mum and set off again a couple of hours later.

A different detour to the M18 (still bypassing the A1) and no problems until the M5. Unfortunately we joined the back of a queue in the roadworks caused by a nasty looking accident. My bad mothering came to the fore as Eldest and Smallest muttered about the lack of food in the car...

A smashing tinner/dea at the Gloucester Farm Services when we eventually reached them. Then onwards and ANOTHER queue on the M5. This time we took quick evading action and nipped off at Bridgewater and back on at Taunton.

No further delays and we made it home for 10.30 - only 13+ hours after we left our friends!
