LOVELY DAY FOR LONG CAR JOURNEY
After a busy Monday to Thursday at work, I packed up the car yesterday morning and headed for Scotland to visit my mum for a few days. I can’t remember the last time I did this 400 mile journey in good weather, and with absolutely no hold ups whatsoever. Sometimes there’s good weather but lots of traffic jams, or sometimes there are no traffic jams but the weather is horrible which makes the drive difficult. Yesterday was bright weather the whole way and there were no roadworks, no accidents and no traffic queues. It was almost pleasurable - although it might be going a bit far to say that!

What a treat! Hope it’s the same way going home.
Me too!
Oh I love it when that happens… especially at this time of the year. Makes a long journey much more pleasurable indeed!! We do have a blue sky today as well and it made me instantly active. Wish you a good stay in Scotland!!
Blue skies are very energising I think.
I hope the weather stays as good for the return. Scotland is gorgeous at any time of year.
Thank you. Please keep your fingers crossed!
wow! that was a good journey north! hope you have a fab time there
Thanks.
Wishing you safe travels home.
Thank you.
Enjoy your visit!
I definitely will!
Enjoy! LOVE it when travel is smooth!
It makes it a pleasure – almost!
It’s been a while since I undertook a road trip. I’m inspired. Maybe in the spring…
I look forward to hearing you plans.
That’s wonderful! I hope you had a fantastic time with your mum.
Thank you. Spending time with other family too.
I love when a road trip comes together as well. Ours did too! We beat the massive snowstorm by one day.
You were lucky! That would have been a dreadful thing to have been caught up in.
Have a great visit!
Thanks!
Enjoy your trip!
I will do my best!
Happy trails!
They will be!
400 miles is a LONG car ride. Glad you had no ‘bumps’ in the road!
I broke it up with a couple of stops – but having no ‘bumps’ made it so much easier.
Glad you had a great journey up to Scotland,hope you have a nice time with your mum and wishing you a safe journey home x
Thank you. We’re having a busy time already.
I enjoy a nice road-trip with my husband! I always say I have a captive audience in the car! And we have many lovely conversations there! Glad to hear that your trip was enjoyable!
Happy Saturday!!!!
I only had my own company, so always got the answers I needed!
I love to go on a roadtrip when the weather and traffic are cooperative. It provides great time for thinking and relaxing, and nothing is better than a visit to see your Mum! I had to drive a thousand miles to do that!
Oh, a thousand miles sounds like a long, long way. 400 seems quite a lot!!
I hope you have a great visit and that the trip home is equally enjoyable!
Thank you – me too!
Have fun up here. The weather sounds as uncharacteristic as the rugby result! You picked the right week
Good idea to escape half-term up here where we only get a random couple of days.
We watched the rugby. So wonderful to watch a win for Scotland!
I just love Scotland. Enjoy your visit and glad the weather is currently good
Horrid weather yesterday and Saturday, but really lovely today.
I love road trips! Scotland would be awesome!
Scotland is great for a touring holiday – lots of different dramatic scenery.
Have a wonderful time.
I will!
Enjoy your time with your mum!
Thank you.
driving in the sun is such a great treat.
It is so much more relaxing than driving in the rain, isn’t it?
Have a lovely time together. Where in Scotland?
Central Scotland. Mum is north of Glasgow and I have my sister and family in the Loch Lomond and Trossachs National Park.
I’m glad your trip went smoothly. Have a great visit with your mom.
Thank you. It is going well so far.
Dis you get much snow up there yesterday ? We had snow for most of the morning and quite heavy too but it didn’t settle this time.
We had some sleet on Sunday, nothing yesterday but it’s been snowing overnight and is still falling now – but not too heavily thankfully.
