Diversion - backblip

Only a short way into our journey up to the Lakes with 'Matilda' this morning traffic started to slow on the M6 and after a short stretch of stop start all traffic on our carriageway came to a halt ......... For the next THREE hours because of a serious accident involving 2 lorries. The motorway was closed, loads of emergency services swung into action and the air ambulance attended. We were very pleased to have 'Matilda' behind us for refreshments and the loo. A few other desperate women were very grateful of 'Matilda's ' facilities too.! Whilst Mr T enjoyed the welcome plane spotting into Manchester I was able to catch up on some crochet.

We arrived at our caravan site just outside Kendal later than planned but got 'Matilda' settled, awning erected and a bottle of wine opened by 7pm. Our camp site is perfect, the weather is glorious and the views stunning and we're hoping the lorry drivers involved in the crash earlier are doing ok?
