Well, we’re at the ferry port now and will be sailing tomorrow for the Netherlands. The trip down was horrendous with hail, sleet and snow hitting us in the Borders and the north and midlands of England.
That coupled with a ghastly traffic snarl up in the Midlands, when we ended up being sandwiched in between two articulated lorries! No fun when your wheels are spinning on icy slush!
We’ve enjoyed our English road trip though, visiting Boston, King’s Lynn, Thetford, Bury St Edmunds and Stowmarket, although we just drove through that one. All places we hadn’t been to before. I hope to be blogging about them in the future.
Sounds delightful, except for the traffic mess:(
Enjoy your trip!

Paula,
Thanks. Being in Holland is a lovely change for us and it’s good to meet up with the Dutch side of my family again.
Safe travel, hope the weather is kind to you from now on.
Valerie,
The weather is a bit better here in Holland and of course it’s tulip time so lots of the fields are very colourful.
And it’s almost May! Have a safe trip and loads of fun.
Peggy,
The weather in Holland is cold too, but so far no rain, hail or snow!
Have a safe crossing!
Stefanie,
Thanks. We made it, the ferry was very smooth.
