We are home again now!
We had had difficulty finding a site that suited us to use on the journey back to Devon from Suffolk so decided to do the entire journey in one day.
Leaving the campsite we topped up the fuel tank at a garage handily situated just as we turned onto the A12 where we headed South West for the M25. This was in a rather benign mood fortunately and we kept moving virtually the entire stretch of this notorious road. This was followed by the M3 then onto the A303 where we decided to stop.
We were ideally looking for a lay-by with a hedge or at least an island between the traffic and us. All the ones that fitted the description were on the far side of the road (I think there is a well known law that applied here) so we gave up in the end and pulled into a normal lay-by for a break.
More Time was swaying as lorries and buses roared past a few feet away and even cars caused her to rock. Although I had turned on the gas on arrival because it is on the offside of the vehicle I was glad to get back to safety after doing it so did not turn it off as we left. One holdup further down the road saw us home by mid afternoon ready for a coffee while we opened our post.
Saturday saw us cleaning and emptying More Time and winterising her ready for storage.
