Off to the North
We're off.... though not for very long; we'll be back next week. We're going up to Edinburgh to visit family. We try and do this twice a year, once in the fall and once in the spring.
We'll take the overnight ferry from Ouistreham [Caen] to Portsmouth and then drive. It's about 700km from Portsmouth to Edinburgh and on the way up we drive it in a day. It's a long drive, but we get kicked off the boat early so it doesn't 'feel' too bad and there's a lovely warm welcome at the other end in Edinburgh!
On the way back we plan to break the journey with a brief stop in the Peak District. It is an area neither of us really know so we are looking forward to seeing its spectacular scenery.

@Susan - no problem :-)
No, Sutherland as always, but we vary the route. :-)
@Perpetua - forgot; you're further over towards the west :-)
Have a safe trip and a wonderful time.
Looking forward to your views of the Peak district on the way back...
Have a good trip.
For another time come via Staffordshire and spend an overnight with us.
Hope you have safe and pleasant journey, hope the weather holds up for you so you can enjoy England in the Fall.
@fly - fingers crossed the weather stays good. right now we have glorious sunshine and a balmy 14C in Edinburgh.
@Gaynor - that would be lovely if you're not on the way down to our neck of the woods at the same time :-)
