No, just the wifes spare English to Leicester-ese phrase book :lol:
It took me just over 2 hours to get there from leaving home at about 16:40 & leaving the M1 at 18:45.
I'm glad I wasn't heading north, as there was an horrendous queue on the M1 from about jct29. I reckon it was over 10miles :shock:
There's some deep 'Tram-Lines' near jct 30 from the trucks in lane 1!
I also saw a 50th Anniversary 3-door FreeLander near here
I met her in the ASDA car-park at Fosse Park, then followed her along Aylestone Way(?) into the centre.
We passed the Royal Infirmary (one of her projects*), the rather grand looking railway station, the f**tball ground & pulled into the NCP next to the Holiday Inn (St Nicholas Circle)
This was to be our destination for the night, courtesy of Laing Construction (the bidders :wink: )
We had a very convivial 3-course dinner & a 7th floor room over looking a ruined Church
There was an alarm call at 04:00.
I'm used to that time of the morning, she isn't :lol:
Room service at 04:15 with a decent continental breakfast.
Booked out at 04:50, spotted a very nice Tuscan in the multi-story (even allowing for its colour :wink: )
As I followed her out of the centre (on the Hinckley road), I spotted a very nice (& surprising) relic of the past opposite the Reg Vardy (Alfa?/Audi?) dealer
Can anyone photograph this jettied house for me please?, as it was too dark. It looks similar to The Black Swan in Wakefield
Then she disappeared towards East Midlands airport for a flight to Charles deGaulle, whilst I settled into my 55-60mph trip home. I arrived outside at 07:05
Not a bad evening, to say I was simply a courier :lol: I wonder if I can claim my mileage back on her expenses, as she was going to arrange an actual courier
* Along with the General Hospital & Glenfields. Plus an associated build at Market Harborough)
