BACK HOME SAFELY

It was the day of my Auntie Thelma's funeral but first we met up with a friend Mike Kerrin who came down to our hotel first thing for a coffee before we headed off down to the Crematorium passing our old house at Langney on the way down. Thelma had reached her 90's but of course that always limits the numbers of contemporaries who survive and ditto family to some extent. After the service we went back to Thelma's house at Longland Road and after a catch up with family and friends we started the long grind back up north , everywhere looked very attractive on a sparkling sunny day. We eventually hit traffic on the M25, congestion on the M40 and fog starting on the M40 and M6, the toll road got us through the midlands and thankfully the road work section near home was fine. It's white in Lower peover, I guess it's not snow but frost which must have gathered over several days at freezing temperatures. We've just unloaded , quite a car full. All the film and DVD orders are ready for packing in the morning. We are just ready now for a cuppa. Anyway being back in harness I can start with some photos at Southampton docks yesterday.
