So we are off on our travels again. I had been going to do grandmother duty, but their school was closed due to a burst water main so it didn't happen. This meant we could take our time over loading up the van, and there was no rush.
We had decided to leave an extra 30 minutes because of road works on the M20, which is being turned into a smart motorway. The Swan Whisperer came home early from Figure Club, and after supper we set off.
We needed every minute of the extra half hour, as they decided to close the motorway at Junction 8, and we followed what we thought were the diversion signs only to find we were back on the motorway at junction 7,and it was all to do again. The second time of asking, we realised they wanted us to go up to the M2 from J7 - but why on earth didn't they put us off there instead of sending us all round the houses? We did get there in the end, just in time to check in for our booked crossing, which was late. Tonight, or what's left of it, will be spent at Cité Europe.
