The wind had howled around the hotel throughout the night. It was a bleak start to the day. A Yellow weather warning was in place for all along the south coast today.
We had done some preliminary packing before going to bed last night. We finished it before breakfast and I made several trips to the car to load the boot. As I came back from one trip, I stopped at reception to settle the bill. A little old lady was settling up next to me. She was complaining that she couldn't find the final total on the bill. The receptionist patiently showed her the total on the second page, to which the old lady complained that it was a stupid way of presenting a bill. She then went on to complain that the newspapers, she had requested had been itemised and charged. I had the feeling, as I walked away, that she was trying it on.
We had breakfast and then said our goodbyes and set off on the King's highways. Jane and Trevor headed for Dart's Farm and then the M5/M4, and we headed for the A35/A31/M27. Despite the weather, we had an excellent run-through and were home in under three hours,
We were soon unpacked and spent a quiet afternoon with our Kindles.
