Back blipping from the ferry to Holland on 23rd Sept.  

Just outside Braintree, Essex.  20+ chargers of various types.  Empty apart from ourselves at 9 o'clock in the evening.  Sadly, the food and drink facilities were shut.

We're on the move again.  

A busy, but smoothly accomplished, day.  We spent the morning packing all the stuff I've been accumulating for the family in Sweden.  Then a last minute trip to collect a "click and collect" from the supermarket, consisting mainly of large quantities of crumpets (difficult to buy in Sweden, and allowed to be imported into the EU as bread)  - our "collector" must have wondered!   Followed by a trip to the airport for our rapid antigen test - very efficient, they even validated our car park ticket.

Home again, we had a late lunch, eating up some cheese and salad that would not keep for our return, and that we can't take into the EU now!  Then we packed the car, and drove to Stapleford, where W sat around whilst I played in the flute choir.

Then on to the chargers seen above where we topped up our electrons and snacked on crisps and fruit (also has to be eaten up before getting to Holland!).  And finally to the Premier Inn a few miles further along the A120, where we unwound a little and collapsed into bed fairly early, knowing that we had breakfast booked for 0630 in the morning.
