Christmas Eve

A rather different way to spend Christmas Eve. A long drive back from Disneyland. We set off at about 100hrs and got to Eurotunnel earlier than planned. Were able to get an earlier train and really just arrived and drove straight on, very handy. The drive in France was pleasant enough, the iles just seem to disspear. Back in the UK and the UK road system it stopped being so nice. Not that the roads were particularly busy but driving is just more of an effort over here. In France I could put the cruise control on and stay in the inside lane for mile after mile. On British roads you need to be changing and adapting for everyone else every minute. Finally got to Wales, my parents, stood on the doorstep carol singing, "A" elected for "Jingle Bells" followed by "When Santa Got Stuck Up The Chimney". Finally a nice wind down, someone else in charge for the next 48 hours or so.
