A69 in Northumberland today, took me 3 hours, YES 3 FUCKING HOURS, to get along it when it usually takes me 40 mins. The flooding down here is atrocious, fields are like rivers, I'm surprised I got through some of the gigantic puddles (like oceans). Some people had abbonded their cars etc.
Got to Hexham, but there is no way I was taking the kids on that road, I had a hotel booked for us in Gretna as well, was going to spend the day in Carlisle with them. Now I'm stranded here and have to stay the night at the exes! Which is a bit awkward, she's away on a night out, I'll be sleeping in my daughter's bottom bunk.
A 2.5 hour drive took me like 5 hours today, shite. Hope it's not like that tomorrow.
