Had a dreadful night, it was one of those can’t go to sleep ones. Anyway, had breakfast and then packed up my case. I didn’t want to get on to the roads before 9. Headed north about 9.30 and paid a quick visit to Sand Bay to grab a few munzees. Not quite sure about the sand, all I saw were rocks, but it was probably under the water somewhere lol.

Merged into the motorway and just kept going. I am driving a Golf which has a few bells and whistles. One of them is the cruise control. Once set to the desired speed it monitors the vehicle in front. If that vehicle slows down or another vehicle cuts in front the Golf automatically slows down until once again I’m a couple of car lengths behind. Then if the front vehicle turns off I go back to the speed limit I’ve set. All quite nifty.

I spent most of the trip in the slow lane behind a truck. Not so quick and whizz by as the other lanes. There were lots of roadworks but the traffic flowed reasonably well. I stopped at Membury Services again, but of course, on the other side of the motorway and it wasn’t as busy as the stop southward had been.

Back at the farm I left my case at the back door as Cathy & Phillip were out and popped into see Jess & Keith. Good chat, some raspberries and a walk and then back to the farm again. A chat, dinner and Cathy finished her book, Philip’s out looking for foxes to shoot and I’m blog writing. Sorry no pictures, I didn’t take any today!
