We hauled ourselves out of bed this morning and had a quick breakfast, and were in such good time at the terminal that we got a crossing half an hour earlier than scheduled - 09:20 instead of 09:50. I had been a little worried as my debit card had had to be cancelled while we were away, and I wasn't sure whether we would need it at the terminal, which is why we were early, but luckily we didn't.
Despite endless roadworks on the M20 and heavy traffic on the South Circular, we got home by 11:00 UK time and have unpacked and done the first of many loads of washing! Home now until early November.... watch this space. I'm hoping we'll have an excursion or two between now and then, but am not sure.
Edited to add: we finally gave in, this last morning, and put the heating on while we showered and dressed! As it was Calais, right on the edge of the time zone, it wasn't even light at 7:00 am, and it was very cold. I nearly wasn't warm enough in bed last night and had to use my extra rug for the first time, too. Pyjamas next holiday, rather than summer-weight nighties!
