Bless The Mothership

Fan belt tensioner suddenly went on M1 on our way South to canal boat. Suddenly no steering or brakes. Dangerous time standing behind barriers trying to balance eldest son on barrier whilst keeping hold of youngest son. AA responded really quickly and The Mothership has now been abandoned
by a Ford Commercial Garage. All fingers crossed that they do her first thing on Monday so that we can join boat at allotted time of 10 am. We were supposed to be camping for two nights but now at sister's. All kit in van. Will be surviving on nowt!
