Jolly ole England

We spent Easter Sunday travelling… We left reasonably late and were on the road by about noon. We stopped for lunch along the way, our last French meal for a while, and then Calais, put the car on the Shuttle, under the Chunnel and off to England. When we got to Calais we had practically no petrol left, the light on the dashboard was blinking and we were actually at the beeping stage when we got to the Shuttle ticket booth. We had two surprises: there was no where to get petrol once at the ticket booth until the other side of the channel and the ticket price was much more expensive than it was when pre-purchased on the Internet. We had no choice in both matters and just crossed our fingers…

We got petrol on the other side and drove up, around London and up towards Leamington. We stopped off at the first services wee could but that was hours from Ashford. We finally arrived at the family home in Whitnash at around 23:00. Long trip…
