At a standstill on the A1

Went through the cottage making sure we have everything and turned everything off. Locked the place up tight and off toward Newcastle. Along the way we ran into a traffic jam for about 10 miles of bumper to bumper traffic and then it clears up for no apparent reason – just like at home. Got to the hotel without any other problems, checked in and crashed, I think we need a rest, tough day so far!
