Another hotel, another bar

I stayed for Christmas lunch after the conference thing this morning. We had crackers and streamers on the table but the fare was far from festive - beef stew. Beef stew! I ask you - what madness is this?

The a slow scootle up the motorway which included the fun of a broken-down lorry, heavy rain and some snow. I made such poor time I had to stop for a micro-snoozle at a set of services. Now I'm in another hotel for some downtime to clear my head and forget about work for a while.

This is a repeat of this blip as far as possible (used tablet rather than Canon). My holidays have started - I hope that you'll be taking a break soon mes amis.
