We had such a lovely day out by the side of the road in Huntingdon. We set out on our journey at about 10.30 am ... please take note of the time.
The traffic wasn't too bad ... a bit heavy .... but soon we came across lots and lots of accidents and moved very slowly. My poor little car overheated, the services were chocca!!! and I mean CHOCCA! But we pulled off ... cooled down and set off again .... the traffic had cleared ... well a bit and we drove for about 10 miles when the car started to make a funny noise so we pulled over .....this was 4 hours after setting off and we had only done 80 miles. Grrrr we won't go into all the annoying and niggly details but we sat and waited for 3 hours for the RAC to come.
We waited
And waited
and waited ... nice toilet facilities in the parking bay!!Well eventually after a mix up and 3 hours the lovely RAC man turned up. The head gasket had gone. He towed us to some services where ...... you guessed it .... we waited and waited .... oh yes and .... waited to be towed. At 9.30 pm the lovely man came and loaded the car onto the flat bed truck and ....hip hip ...... we were off! Well for a while anyway.... a couple of miles down the road the truck pulls over ....it's indicator light wasn't working..... so we waited....
and waited ....is it friday the 13th?
and waited ..... you get the picture don't you..... we arrived at my Dad's in Plumstead at about 12.30
