Honestly...no idea what-so-ever Mrs.H booked it and I do what I'm told.

Was to escape Xmas as I hate it and am a grumpy sod, but we appear to be taking it (ALL OF IT!) with us...

Pretty much! or failing that a bag of pork scratchings is their equivalent of Sex Panther!



Ahem, however - on the weather front - there's not been any fresh snow since the weekend, but with it being -17 out there (and I'm not kidding either!) none of the existing snow has melted.

That said, the roads here are still fine, as long as you're careful you'll be Ok, as things stand.

Yeh, I'm not convinced it would be a good idea.

I talked to my friend last night and we decided not to travel.

M5 was down to one lane near bristol yesterday and didnt open the 2nd till tea time. Weather forecast looked rubbish and I decided that even in the Maverick it would be stupid idea.

I feel bad because she wont be going to see her parents for christmas but I dreaded the thought of being stuck on the M5 / M6 with a 3 year old in the car and a boot full of stufff.

At least now they can spend christmas at home with the family they have here so they wont be missing out.
