Frantic Friday!

[Caran]

Daughter, 3/4 grandchildren and me are driving up to meet my brother at Knutsford in the morning. We are meeting for lunch and a Christmas catch-up. Not looking forward to the journey as there will be thousands on the roads. Under normal conditions it would take about 2.5 hours. Heavens knows tomorrow!

Lovely place is Knutsford ( I don't mean the M6 motorway services ).
It'll be worth it, Caran.

[Caran]

Hope so tonyav. We are meeting at a Witherspoons for lunch. They have a good menu at reasonable prices.

[bednobs]

Is that three quarters of a grandchild you are taking with or are you just not sure how many you have?

[tonyav]

The beer is sold at reasonable prices to, Caran.

I'll give you a wave as you come past junc 10 M6 ;-)

[ummmm]

Lol Bednobs...I thought the same.

Wish you well on your journey Caran
Son will drive me to my daughter and her family and exchange gifts
Son in law will drive me back after Christmas
I am truly blessed

[Caran]

Not sure yet whether it is 3 or 4 of grandchildren coming with us. Teenage grandson yet to make his mind up.

You might be alright in the morning. It'll be after lunchtime that things get nasty.

[Caran]

They are picking me up at 9.45 am. For lunch at 1.00 pm. Return journey could be hairy!

[tonyav]

Yeah, take it easy on the return journey, Caran. Birmingham area M6 will be bad.

[Caran]

Thanks tonyav, will do.

[tonyav]

Just relised that you will be travelling North up the M5 ( and South on your return ) to join the M6. There are a lot of road works going on M5 junc 3 onwards to junc 1.

[Caran]

Thanks tonyav. I will mention this to daughter.
