Day 312 - Traffic

Another lazy start and yet more smoked salmon for breakfast (CostCo doesn't do small portions....).

Today was the day that the family went their separate ways: my daughter drove up to Manchester to see her boyfriend, and ran into bad traffic on the M6. My brother was driving back from Suffolk: a journey which normally takes two hours but instead took over three hours due to congestion on the M11 and the M25.

And I volunteered to drive my sister-in-law and three children down to her sister's in Eversley, Hants.  Having seen all the red lines on the sat nav, we decided to take the A3 and cut across on the A331 and, yes, we hit our very own traffic on the way around Guildford...

But eventually we all got there. And I am pleased to be able to report that the children's car seats fitted beautifully into the Tesla, which served for the first time as a family car.  The boys were suitably impressed but unfortunately neither the Traffic Adjusted Cruise Control nor the Auto Pilot were functioning... something for the Tesla guys to have a look at next week!
