Saturday 4th January 2025

Alarm at 0800. Got up and made tea, then did some to-ing and fro-ing with luggage ahead of packing the car. Aki came down and made porridge, and we ate at the dining table with mum and dad, before Kath surfaced. I ventured outside to defrost the car before reversing it up the driveway, then packing our stuff. Said our farewells and drove gingerly down an icy High View. Stopped for coffee at Wetherby Services, and for our packed lunch in the car park at Tibshelf Services. M1 was busy, but kept moving. Got home around 1630 and unpacked the car. FaceTimed Kath to say we'd arrived safely ahead of the snowstorm. Aki put together a simple meal...dal with spinach and rice, followed by cheese and biscuits. Watched "All of Us Strangers", an intriguing film about traumatic childhood memories, starring Andrew Scott and Paul Mescal. By the time the bath was running, it was snowing heavily outside.
