I'm writing this in Wirksworth where we're staying with family over the new year. We spent a quiet Christmas at home before we left Edmond in our reliable kennels and drove to England. We arrived on Thursday evening.

We'd decided to drive, and sharing turn and turn about that woekd well through the 1,000 km of France, on Eurotunnel and up the M20, but the M25 was a crawling nightmare. Once on the M40 we were fine again apart from rain squalls - the storms had passed or were further west and north - the M25 delay meant that we drove the familiar last miles in the dark, not as hoped or planned. But we arrived safely at Sam's by 1800 and found Ed, Isla and Karen already installed in their nearby Airbnb. On reflection the journey was a success - I think we shall be happy to drive that way again.

When Jeff and Fi arrived a little later we were delighted - our family was together; we all met up again yesterday for brunch and a mountain of presents. Sadly Sas and Ben had bad colds and could not join us - fingers crossed that they will be better soon.
