… to drive the final 40kms from the motorway service area to my supplier’s this morning than it did to drive from my house to the motorway service area last night.<\/p>\n
Well, okay, it didn’t. But the two hours that I spent on the road certainly felt like it. Heavy traffic was one reason, but the other reason was that I had to drive down a long tunnel and The Lady Who Lives In The Satnav lost her bearings.<\/p>\n
It took quite a while to organise myself there, but the fun started on the way back.<\/p>\n
That took absolutely ages. <\/p>\n
Firstly the The Lady Who Lives In The Satnav tried to send me down a peage with a height limit of 2 metres and so that was out. And from then on it kept on finding me impossible routes that led back to where I started.<\/p>\n
Eventually I followed my nose out west along the Seine until I hit the Francilienne – the N104 – and then south until I hit the N7 to Fontainebleu – a long way round but it brought me home. And during all of this of course we had the traffic.<\/p>\n
The road goes through the Forest of Fontainebleu and it’s quite a busy road used by any amount of truckers. And in each entry to each glade along the route there were … errrr … filles de joie<\/i> in place waiting. I’ve not noticed that before<\/p>\n
But now I’m home and exhausted. I’m off to\u00a0 a nice clean bed and tomorrow I’ll unload Caliburn.<\/p>\n
