I didn't get to write last night as for a change our Friday night was busier than usual. We had a few minibus loads of people going to the Spa from their hotels and back again. There is a Rotary Convention on so we could be busy most of the weekend, have already taken a couple of bus loads this morning and some more booked for tonight.
Had a trip to Manchester Airport yesterday, good journey for a change, roads were busy but no hold-ups. Took a really nice lady who was off to visit her son in Canada, she told me she goes every 18 months but said she didn't know how much longer she would be able to go as she finds it very tiring. She chatted most of the way, about her life in Scotland and then in Lancashire and now Yorkshire. She was very interested to hear about my husband playing the bagpipes!!
Motorway driving can be such a bore so it is great when someone chats.
Why is it when people get on the motorway they think they will get there quicker if they hog the middle or outside lane. I think all motorways should be 4 lanes, 2 for lorries and 2 for cars, invariably when you get to a 4 lane part there are 3 lanes of lorries. Usually the first lane only has one very slow vehicle in it every now and then, very annoying. Another thing why is it when you get to a hold-up you always seem to be in the wrong lane!!!! The other lanes always seem to move faster!!!
Wonder what the rest of today will bring!!
