The Journey.
Because of a family bereavement, I had to drive from London to Sheffield. I chose to travel the night before I really needed to, in order to avoid excessive traffic. As it turned out it was probably one of my best decisions.
For those unaware of the distances involved its 168 miles (272 km) from London to Sheffield, most of it is motorway travel. Being lucky enough to have a large automatic car with cruise control, it was literally a case of point and steer. Just as I approached the slip road to the motorway, it was raining and just ahead of me I saw three figures huddled under an umbrella with a cardboard sign saying Nottingham. It was not until I slowed to a stop that I saw it was three teenage girls. The lead girl opened the front passenger door and asked where are you headed.
