The M74 northbound at J6 is in fact closed. The signs are telling the truth and GoogleMaps is oblivious, hopefully it's updated now as I just figured out how to report a road closure. Feeling smug.

Just got thru passport control & check in, now in the lane for boarding 30mins after entering port & on a boat nearly 2 hours earlier than booked. Thanks so much Irish Ferries & @Port_BC! Left our campsite at 6.30am so a simple arrival at port & earlier boat are much appreciated.
CALAIS-DOVER: Please allow 120 minutes to complete check-in and border control. Once all checks are complete, we will accommodate you on the next available sailing. Thank you for your patience.

We're on holiday and I haven't written our July reading post yet. I will. Sometime. Almost definitely. Possibly even before September.

On our way to Brittany, started in Ashford before 6am. Long queues in Dover, in torrential rain, for the toll at Pont de Normandie and now in Caen. But an absolute magic moment came when the whole family sang along to Don't Stop Me Now by Queen. Fantastic.

Smelly socks' top tip: change your bed right before you go on holiday so that a) it's lovely and fresh when you get back b) it doesn't contribute to the massive pile of washing you'll be bringing home with you afterwards.

You know you're old and grown up when you spend your Wednesday night choosing radiators according to their BTU. 🤦‍♀️
