Miserable weather, lots of rain, grey skies: a perfect day not to play golf! Instead, it was a good day to give the Tesla a run... We headed off to East Anglia for the day, to visit my mother. She lives in Lavenham, a village in Suffolk, and is looking at downsizing her property and has found a new cottage to move to, which we were pleased to get the opportunity to visit.
After a difficult journey (driving conditions not easy...), we arrived in plenty of time time for lunch. Fully sated, we went up the hill to have a look at the potential new house. It was built relatively recently (15 years or so) and is located in a quiet close with a nice communal garden for everyone to share. The property itself is charming whilst a lot smaller than Mum is used to, so will require a fair amount of "downsizing", but looks a lot easier to manage and cope with. Definitely a good move!
My mother is already on the case as far as looking to dispose of some of the things she has accumulated over the years: I was delighted to come home with an early passport of mine. Didn't I look young...!?
Later on in the afternoon, we headed back to Surrey but hit the traffic on the M25, with some form of incident on the Dartford Bridge that meant that we were stationary for half an hour or so. What was fun was putting the new car's
Traffic-Aware Cruise Control though its paces: it's great just to turn it on and let it go, adjusting the car's speed as and when required. And we didn't hit anything either!
Back in Cobham, just in time for to get things ready before heading off to Burhill for this month's Club Committee Meeting. I hoped that it was going to be a short meeting but it took a longer than I expected - that being said, we had a good discussion about some of the changes in the Club Rules being proposed. As I drove home, I realised that I only had one or two more of such meetings to chair...time flies!
