Thursday evening - out, and back home...
Nov. 30th, 2007 01:48 pm... well, we had intended going our last night to Peterborough - about 50 miles drive away from Royston - to meet someone that I'd got in touch with via the HDA. Trying to do it in such a short time after C's work, we had to go by car...
... which means, we got as far as the A1 nortbound at Buckden, Hunts, only for us to end up parked up in the private road adjacent to a scaffolders yard shortly before 1900, with a punctured tyre.
After about 90 minutes, the AA's subcontractor finally got us going (after all the AA patrols were 'assisting other members'... yes, we saw them driving past!), and we decided to return home, and reschedule for another night. I think we then picked our way through the A14, M11 and A10.
It wasn't that so much... or the cold... it was just the feeling of everything rushing through my head at once... again. Here's me thinking I was ready for almost anything...
... had it not been for some over-the-counter sedatives, I feel that I would have had a much worse night than I did.
Anyway, today has been better. At home, and was browsing through a set of new-ish Highlands travel guides in the bath, and we are going out this evening. With a bit of luck, the same won't happen again.
