Got back last night after a leisurely return trip.
Just need to catch up with nearly 400 new posts now.

Oh yes, we got back ok, despite being stuck at portsmouth for an hour by the main door being stuck shut! we ended up getting herded down a ramp onto the lorry deck after all the lorries left.

it was a good trip. i never got to meet you i don't think MarkyB. It was only when i got back that i remembered you were going!

Got back safe & sound, great trip, 1300 miles in 2 weeks, had a few days on the Normandy landing beaches, stacks of WW2 military vehicles, Jeeps galore. Good to meet old friends again on the trip. :D

Mostly for Roys entertainment, here is a video of some of "what I did on my holiday" after MOT had finished:

It was a most enjoyable thing to do even on a rather wet day, the smell took me back a lot of years to when there were steam trains on British Rail.
