New winter boots

I'm teaching in wednesbury today, it was a long journey this morning, but the agency are giving me a bit extra as I am doing them a favour, and it's a lovely school.
This afternoon, I'm driving down to South Wales to visit family. Even though I'm driving for two hours to get there, they still expect me to drive to their houses to visit them, no effort on their part and I do often wonder why I make any effort at all. Must be a need in me!!
