Friday, going on holiday day. The packing is easy, the loading the car is easy, leaving a to do list for my eldest daughter, easy, the drive a bloody eight hour nightmare. Two brief stops and hours of drudging along in petrified queues of traffic, topped off with my satnav taking us down the smallest back roads in the final three miles, which delayed us even more. We finally arrive knackered. The car gets unloaded, the fridge filled and there is a brief beach walk to blow away the travel gremlins, which rewards with the first sunset. So its pizza, garlic bread, meds and bed for me tonight.
