Liz and I are fine, shaken but not stirred. Unfortunately "little Home" and car look as if they will be written off by the insurance companies.
We got a fairly high speed blowout and I just couldn't hold the thing straight. We clobbered the central reservation and then jack-knifed gracefully across all four carriageways to come to a halt, still upright, on the hard shoulder but facing the wrong way.
Some heavies behind us stopped the traffic until they were sure we were safe and then the M25 resumed until we got lifted out by the AA.
I got breathalised but was clear.........
It would have been different if they had tried that over the weekend eh what??? :-))
So for a while I'm grounded and may not make Upton after all :-(((
