I was supposed to go North over the Christmas period to see all the rels.
The weather lately hasn't been too good though.
First of all there was lots of snow and ice around the Exeter area making the notorious Haldon Hill impassible.
Although the landrover would probably have made it okay, it was the prospect of getting stuck behind jack-knifed lorries or other cars not able to get past.
Although that only lasted a day or so, the bad weather headed North to the midlands, meaning that travel would've been slow and very tiring.
Eventually it came to today, but the problem today are the reports from the news about the excessive traffic already on the road with freezing conditions making it slow.
I have talked to the relatives up North and explained that I'll have to come up during the next leave period. Might actually receive the items I ordered on the internet by then. I have a large stack of presents on the living room floor waiting to be delivered. If I was heading to work a bit later in the new year I might've tried to send them up in a large parcel.
Luckily I have an invite from Jane and Maison to go visit them for dinner etc.
