[Tech1] Balmy Saturday!

[patheigham]

Yup, I ventured West, yesterday, to stay with Somerset friends.
The A303 was as busy as usual for a summer Friday, long tailbacks where the dual carriageway ran out, and there are always clever dicks who try and bully their way in having roared up the outside lane.
I found that Canadian drivers really practice the ‘merge in turn’ advice and it works fine over there!
There was an equal amount of traffic coming the other way, so maybe your daughter got caught up in that!
Polesden Lacey gardens are open, maybe you could have tried there.

My daughter drove up from Somerset yesterday to see us for the first 
time since V-Day in March. My wife hasn't been out since then and 
thought it would be nice to have a trip to Box Hill, near Dorking, as it 
was a lovely sunny day. Driving along the A25 to the Burford Bridge 
roundabout it looked very busy in the public car park there. On the road 
up to the top of Box Hill there were cars parked all the way up, the NT 
car park was full, the public car park was full and there were queues of 
cars trying to park anywhere! I have never seen so many people there! 
All packed together, no-one wearing a mask, and as for 'social 
distancing'- forget it - the crowds had! So, when I could get past, I 
drove over the other side of the hill, glimpsing the wonderful view and 
came back home for a cool beer in the garden. Balmy or what? Cheers, 
Dave. PS.  Expect a Covid spike near Dorking anytime soon!
