The rain overnight and in the morning was telling us that it was time to go home. Less than an hour’s drive got us to the Eurotunnel Terminal and we had time to visit their shop to buy some Czech and English beer. The journey through the Channel Tunnel was as smooth and efficient as ever and after 45 minutes we were driving off the Shuttle. We left France in the rain and arrived in Dover in sunshine. The journey home was accomplished in lovely weather with excellent views, although the British motorways are so much busier than the French roads! One of the highlights was driving past Stonehenge. The higher seating position in Henrietta gave an even better view of that iconic site than we normally get but I do wish that they would get on and improve the visitor facilities. Stonehenge is one of the most important archaeological sites in Europe and the visitor facilities are awful. How good it would be to have a proper visitors’ centre that explained Stonehenge and put it into the context of a landscape covered in archaeological features. End of rant!
We parked Henrietta at the home of our great friends Ann and Nick and hadn’t even walked out of their drive before we were greeted by friends. The walk to the house was interrupted by cars stopping to welcome us back. It is great to be home!
