It's a bit foggy
Well it's a lot foggy actually
And it's freezing fog.
The A16 autoroute was fine until we got past Boulogne. Then the mist turned to fog and I slowed to 90kph.
Then we came off the motorway and onto the dual carriageway. A car passed me doing maybe 100. That was the last vehicle I saw. He faded into the distance.
Turn off the main road and I'm down to 45/50 kph. This is now a winding country road, up and down hill as we cross the valleys which bisect the hills of northern France.
And at last I turn into our lane. We open the gate and I reverse in. The gravel path has a fine sheen of ice on it - I've never experienced slippery gravel before.
I manage to bring in the luggage without falling. The heating is on. I open the beer. It's good to be back.
