Back in a Premier Inn tonight. Spending a couple of nights with the eldest at the end of a long week. No Mr C as the Christmas rush to get a haircut has started in ernest. Only took us 6 hours to get to Bristol. Never good when the diversion finds you on the northbound M6 in a gridlocked Birmingham. First Tara needs to pick which book to read out of the 6 she has brought with her! Guess who she takes after? . . . #youngreader #thisdaughter #proudmama #childofmine #eagerreader #readersofinstagram #minibreak #longjourney #minitraveller (at Premier Inn Bristol South) https://www.instagram.com/p/B6OZtomFHlT/?igshid=6zlrif099e7w
