Attempted Adventure

So we set out on a glorious Friday afternoon to go to my sisters again. We though it best to go in his car as mine tends to be temperamental, and because we were hoping to pick up some absolute cracker pieces of furniture which we would be able to fit in his van rather than squeeze into my car. 
The excitement for the weekend ahead quickly dissipated when, going full steam ahead in bumper to bumper friday afternoon traffic on the M5, the van starts to shake and not accelerate... In our panicking stationary state, we bust a hazard light, although this does nothing to calm the moods of our moving neighbours, whom greeted us with fingers and  offensive language and plumes of burn out smoke.... 
A humble 3 hours later, we are getting towed back home, feeling delirious and depleted. 
We did, however, make it down the next day. We drank and joked and were merry, ate great food and marveled at the land after a torrential 30 minute downpour...


Enjoy
