Motorways

Since moving from the North West twenty years ago I now rarely motor down the M6 motorway from Manchester to Birmingham, but last night and twice today I covered the ninety long, dreary and crowded miles three times – to stay overnight at my step-mum’s, take her to visit my dad in hospital, then return her home, but well worthwhile to give them some time together; at least it made my later route via the M62 and A1(M) seem a positively pleasant run home, with relatively few cars out in the mist over the Pennines and up the Vale of York
