Holiday prep, Coffee Town, long journey to Stratford & Jimmy Spice!

We got up early this morning to finish off any packing and to double check that we had everything. We then loaded up The Beast.

We handed the house over to Bob for safekeeping and then went and picked up Gemima from Nick and then it was off to Coffee Town for brunch. While we were there the weather went from gorgeous sun to a real mad downpour. Suitably fuelled up we then picked up some last minute bits before heading out to Stratford-upon-Avon to stay at mum's ready for us to roll out on holiday tomorrow.

The journey took longer than expected due to some nightmare traffic, weather and a couple of incidents on the M25. Visibility was terrible for some of the way but still some idiots were speeding and had no lights on.

When we got to Stratford we chilled out, drank tea and enjoyed chocolates goodness. We even managed to catch up on a few Olympic gold medals.

The day was rounded off very nicely with a marathon eating session at Jimmy Spice.
