Tiers at Bedtime - but the Eagle is in the Nest

MK7 as Snatch Land Rover ?

We were planning the trip to pick James up on Sunday but the news was full of Lockdown rumours all day so we were ready to go. 

Boris popped up on TV at 16:05 and by 16:20 we were on the road. A new more infectious strain of C-19 rife * so London etc. in new Tier 4 and locked down over Christmas from midnight.

At times it felt like a plot of a SciFi 'B movie' as we sped down the A12 in a thunderstorm - coordinating the meeting at Florence's flat. 

James grabbed an electric Zipcar from Brixton, Miranda came down from Crouch End and Elanor got G. Dots on the screen as we merged.

170 miles later - and in a record of just over four and a half hours - we were back home.

2020 just won't lie down and die.

*at time of writing it seems to transmit more easily but is no more life threatening.
