Far Flung North

Just spent a few days at my parents in Yorkshire and endured endless torrential rain on the motorways there and back. As I don't often travel far these days, it has become apparent that our road systems are reaching saturation point. A journey that used to take me 3 hours now takes 5. However obviously living up North has it's compensations as a pint in my Fathers local is only £1.80 and every shop seems to offer Buy one get one free, which Gave us a great opportunity to stock up on CD's.
However coming home from a minning town to civilisation is a great relief, I couldn't live up there.
