a 4 hour drive

for what should have been 2 1/2 hours

i decided to avoid the M62, which is always likely to be a disaster area on wheels, but didn't do any better the other way - volume of traffic going from motorway to single lane through narrow town and then up over the tops to sheffield & the M1. THEN huge traffic jam from Wetherby back to Leeds - those who know that area, know that that's ridiculous. and THEN they'd closed the A1M at the exit just before the one I wanted. I got home at 21:25, instead of just after 8.

and the livery yard hunt? a colleague at the office has a friend who has a horse on a small DIY yard, so is going to enquire for me.

I hate traffic jams. Once sat at the George Washington Bridge for over an hour and a half at a standstill just due to traffic. It is always sooooo frustrating. My sympathy.

Maybe the little DIY yard will work out. At least you have a contact.

What a dreadful journey :(

Glad that you finally made it back but good lord what a long time to be sitting still in a car.

*fingers crossed* for the DIY yard
