My youngest brother was to go over to her, but he tested positive for COVID and so I collected her from London, drove her back to Colchester and in the evening after lunch, drove her back. I was surprised at the numbers of cars on the road and the drive at times was congested, mostly because of my pet hate, middle lane drivers.
The Highway Code is simple. The inside lane is for driving, the lane outside to it is for overtaking and there can be additional lanes, again for overtaking.
Failure to obey these rules causes traffic to build up. And that meant for me, a longer time on the road.
Anyway, lunch was great, my wife pulling off another masterpiece, the kids enjoyed most the presents, I am not sure about the one I got them, and I am now fat enough to be harpooned.
Merry Christmas all!
