On
Friday 28 September 2007 my wife and I drove down to Hale
in the New Forest where we had booked a holiday cottage
for a week. It was already getting dark as we arrived and
we were looking forward to exploring the area which I had
not visited for 38 years, so it was all new really.

On
Friday 5 October we had to drive home. The weather was
fine, warm and sunny with blue skies. The traffic was
light and we made it to our home in five and a half hours
after a lovely week in the New Forest despite some dreary
weather at the start.
