Ferry to France and Fantastic Technology

Set off at 8:30 to pick up Francis with the SAAB packed and reading 114584. Also reading were to warnings of 2 hour delays on the M25.

Anyway it turns out Cockfosters is a great pick up point with a petrol station providing a loo and parking.

The satnav app said despite the delays it was better to stick to the M25 - so with an hour or two in hand we rejoined the motorway. I'd guess it took about an hour and a half more than usual but we arrived at the port with time to spare.

Nice Ferrari in the queue but not much else.

Wondered where Jana was and discovered she was just the other side of the Isle of Wight. I still think the tech is fantastic - totally out of a James Bond film.

Off the other end in more sunshine and the run to the house was fine - if a little tiring - but by 12:00 French time we were offloaded and hitting our beds.
