ali-s Posted August 7, 2006 Share Posted August 7, 2006 ........ To sunny Nottingham on Thursday morning. This will be the first time I have driven down South by myself and I am dreading it Should take about 10 hours but i will be happy if I do the journey in 12 hours and get there in one piece So if you see a yellow Fiat Siecento with harrassed looking lady driver, bored teenager with map, angry looking ten year and small white puppy with large ears, please give me a wave OH is looking after the chickens (poor things) and Buttercup has gone broody today (6th time this year since January) Wish me luck Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cate in NZ Posted August 7, 2006 Share Posted August 7, 2006 What a drive Ali, good luck with it and I hope that your passengers behave and don't start chanting "Are we there yet" too early into the trip. Do I remember right when I think that you've got family in Nottingham I hope you have a lovely time Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Posted August 7, 2006 Share Posted August 7, 2006 Will look out for you - we always look out for your yellow Siecento when we are over the forth and playing yellow car - I even peeped at one once, in the hope it was you! Have a save journey - I just drove to and from Llandudno - not quite as far as you have to drive, but plenty motorway driving - not my favourite! We bought the audio version of Harry Potter - kept the children AND chookiehubbie quiet the whole way there and back! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ali-s Posted August 7, 2006 Author Share Posted August 7, 2006 I wish the pup was driving Hopefully if I am on the correct road Edinburgh should be miles away and if I reach Annie's I have gone too far. Getting excited now Haven't been 'home' for nearly 2 years. My Aunt who emigrated to New Zealand 30 years ago will be visiting. Mums cooking, Nottingham accents and shops, lots and lots and lots of shops..........lovely Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
