I hadn't really intended to post today, but we had a New Experience on our way home. We were not able to get on an earlier shuttle, despite checking in early, so the customs people decided to inspect us. I think it was a new machine, as we had heard it beeping all the previous evening. You have to drive it into a sort of cattle-crush type thing, and then you get out and wait the other side, while the car or van or whatever is pulled forward and, presumably, x-rayed or CAT scanned or something, beeping loudly all the time. Not a pleasant noise, especially as I can't put my fingers in my ears while wearing hearing aids!
Apart from that, the M20 is basically 50 MPH the whole way northbound, largely due to 20 miles with 2 lanes cordoned off for Operation Brock, when they expect lorries to be delayed for days after Brexit. Not sure whether they close the whole southbound section and send the traffic on the contraflow, or whether it's the lorries who go in the cordoned-off section. Time will tell.
We got home about 13:15 UK time, very hungry, and then it was unpacking and so on until the next time!
