9am - Wake up, get ready, and go to the complimentary breakfast. Not sure what my expectations were of a breakfast that was included in a £60 room rate for 2 but... Not great.
11am - Check out. We had a plan to be picked up by Nicola and Jack (Abi's Mum and Brother, remember that, as it'll be the last reminder ;)) from a nearby service station.
11:30am - Arrive at service station, get a better breakfast, and wait for the rescue team, sponsored by Brooks WoodShop.
1.30pm - Rescue team arrives! Yay! after a quick pitstop, we're on the road, finally getting closer to our destination. Up until this point, we had spent nearly 26 hours to get 65 miles, a nice leisurely 2.5mph!
Somewhere around 4pm - We've made it to London! After many hours, and a lot of waiting with heavy bags, we finally made it! It was finally time to relax and wind down for the week.

The rest of the week was basically spent getting the last few things in order and preparing for the travel ahead.
A massive thank you the the Brooks family for their Love and Care, and for saving us from Storm Babet! Your hospitality was greatly appreciated from you all, and thanks again for welcoming me into your family!

Glad we were able to help...especially since it then meant we got to spend nearly as much time with you before you deserted these cold/windy/wet shores for your Great New Zealand Adventure
