What a bloody nightmare day

We were heading south today for a couple of nights in Lauder. Because there wasn’t anyone in the cottage until tomorrow, R said we didn’t have to rush out (and it meant we got to say a proper goodbye today rather than last night). Annoyingly we were ready before 9 but didn’t end up leaving until 11.30 (mistake!!! BIG MISTAKE)
1. The weather for driving was atrocious
2. We got a couple of miles out of Dalwhinnie on the A9 and came to a standstill - for 3 hours. We literally did 1.5 miles in 3 hours. There had been what must have been a big accident! And nothing was moving.
We ended up eating lunch in the car.

The plan had been to get to Lauder in daylight so that we could more easily find the flat- well by 7pm on a winters night we failed miserably in that one!
Then spent a very frustrating half hour trying to find and park up near the place.

Well and truly knackered and grumpy this evening
