Spray

Not the best day to drive 100 miles down the M1 (and back) to pick up the boy and his mate from their climbing and caving holiday base in the Peak District, with a rain sodden road surface creating clouds of spray to contend with; hearing traffic reports from around the country, our occasional delays were minor, though due more to good luck than good judgement given the number of cars that hurtled past at great speed into a white wall of uncertainty.
