Back to England

So we worked it out that going back to England would take a similar time to going down to the cottage here in France. Time to the boat is about 3½ hours. The boat is 1½ hours, and the travelling in England another 2 hours depending on our exact destination. About 7 hours in all compared to 6¾ to get to the cottage (includes 2 ✕ 20 minute stops).
Of course the boat was late and the M2 on the English side was closed, so too the junction from the M25 onto the M11; both of which we wanted. But we still arrived at mother's roughly when we expected to.

And it was great to see my side of the family. Apologies to all Martins and Gassons who we could not get to see this trip. Next time; promise!

Clare has to improve my photos if she can

Dog interest

And back through the playing fields

The trip home, in the wet!
