We had one sunny day in West Wales, the rest wet and windy :) Our drive home was scary ... huge volume of traffic nose-to-tail with rain and spray, so very slow. Took 8 hours instead of 5, but home safe :)

Thanks Ange. Yes, and we hadn’t realised quite how many other families need to travel between Christmas and New Year celebrations…

Glad to know you got home safely, Shirley! 😀 A beautiful photo! 😀

We did this one year and had the same scary drive home as you!
A beautiful scenic picture Sheila!

what a lovely place !

It was Paul, ideal for a short trip - just a bit too far from home 🙂.

Glad you got home safely anyway, a very long drive. Will you be attempting it again next year?

Josee, thank you. No, we won’t try to go so far from home next Christmas. Even before we got back, OH was saying “Binham next year I think!” (2 hours - a bit more sensible).

I'm glad you got home safely Sheila, Christmas isn't a time for travelling long distances.

Glad to hear you got home safely. It is a lovely photo.

Sheila, this is a super photo. The amount of traffic on the roads in this country is at a ridiculous level now ... here in the South East it is always busy ... :o(

Thank you Hywel, you’re so right.
Thanks very much Chris.
Thanks Shirley, the volume of traffic is crazy isn’t it. My sister lives in Ferndown, Dorset, but they rarely get to the beach because of local traffic jams 🙁.

Sheila, we think our days of holidays in the West Country are over now as the journey takes so very long.

Thanks very much Kate. Yes, we had a lovely time … very relaxing 🙂. x

Your photo looks so peaceful. Glad you arrived home safely. i think it was awful of the workers to strike like they did especially at this time and after covid, when everyone wants to be with their loved ones or just to be able to get away. If they all get lots more pay it will only increase the inflation again.....I'll say no more.

Oh Sheila, what a dream photo! How lovely to spend Christmas here, gorgeous. I am sorry, the home journey wasn't good with the weather closing in and heavy traffic..x

Thanks Janey. It was a treat, but OH thinks it might be better to stay at home next Christmas … he’s probably right.
17 Jan, 2023
Yes, maybe right. When everyone else decides to escape, the journey isn't great in winter is it..
19 Jan, 2023
Exactly Janey … we’ve learnt from experience 🙂.

Stunning picture, Sheila, looks beautiful. I'm sorry your journey was so protracted - I expect it was extra busy because of all the train and highways strikes. Better safe...
