We arrived home from our little road trip safe and well, just!
The first northern exit to the M25 was closed and so we detoured via a road leading to Staines(don't ask me how) and we were nearly killed by a joyrider, I have to admit that I haven't even seen worse driving on Police,Camera, Action.
If asked to describe the little sweetheart I would only be able to say that he was a teenager wearing a hoodie and a baseball cap and driving a red escort.What frightened me most was the fact that as he cut across in front of me was the thought that he was being chased by a police car and we were all going to get hit and be killed by the police car! I have nearly been hit before by a police pursuit vehicle and it was equally as scary. Ali G's portrayal of Staines and the Staines Massive seemed pretty accurate last night. I love living in my small city, we have similar problems to other places but there is definitely no place like home.
We arrived back at 3:30am, I got up at 7am to get Beauty to school and now is definitely the time for a little R&R to help me recover in time for Beauty's return.

Sounds like you had the car journey from hell - glad to hear you all got back home safely. Your experience reminds me why - at 37 - I still haven't learnt to drive!
Good grief-so glad you're ok!
Hope you get a little rest today.
I didn't learn to drive until I was 40 and I definitely feel that I have saved myself many years of stress by learning to drive later.
I don't usually mind driving even in the traffic. We are off to Toronto, this weekend.
Even with the driving I hope you had a good break.
