Up early to see the hang glider people already getting airborne - although thankfully they took off the other way so very little noise. Breakfast then round to Eurotunnel, get Jamie's Pet Passport checked, then we were allocated a slightly earlier train which meant we only stopped at the Customs and Police checkpoints before getting onto the train. In fact it was so quiet they amalgamated two departures - obviously not a popular time!
Usual smooth crossing and then out onto a reasonably quiet M20 for the long haul home in nice sunny weather, occasionally using the aircon to help keep the dog cool. Won't go into any detail, suffice it to say we enjoyed lunch with Mum at Navenby trhen an uneventful, fast run up the A1, home by about 7.20pm.
Bertie has now been cleaned and washed and put away; we've a few jobs to see to but for the moment we'll get sorted at home first.
IN SUMMARY
We're a bit disappointed that it was too hot to do what we'd planned, which kind of left us a bit "at sea" and not sure what we wanted to do. The very hot weather didn't help so it was probably inevitable we came home early. But we did see lots of new places and generally enjoyed the trip. We'll probably try again next year, but travel a little earlier.
