Yesterday there was a board meeting where God made an executive decision and directed Mother Nature to send the cold and miserable damp weather to that had been hovering over us for the last three days to where it belonged……………France. ………and replace it with the most beautiful of spring days.
So it was that Southampton awoke to clear blue skies and shirtsleeve weather which set the scene for A Day of Days.
My drive from Essex to Hampshire started at 8 am and I had given myself extra time to arrive at the docks because I would have to travel along the most notorious motorway (freeway) in the UK…………a road called the M25. Usually this is nothing more than a parking lot as there are always road works and accidents and lane closures……….however yesterday it was as though someone had told every other driver in Britain to stay at home…………John is coming and he has a Royal appointment………because the M25 was empty. As I sped along in my Ozone-killing machine of a Range Rover listening to the radio I was excited to hear that the BBC news mention what was about to happen on their hourly bulletins. During the three-hour journey I had lots of time to think, not just about the event itself but also about my life and the journeys I have been on since the blog started.
