Left site this morning after a few days away feeling suitably refreshed.
Driving up the motorway I became aware of the sensation of fresh air streaming into the van.
Isabel had forgotten to close the roof vent.
Pulled over in a sort of extended hard shoulder area and hurriedly closed it and set off again.
About 5 miles later started getting toots from cars alerting me to the side of the van.
Sure enough Isabel had forgotten to lock the side locker and it had opened completely exposing the leisure battery, our levellers some wellie boots and other bits and pieces.
Luckily due to my skilled driving I was able to prevent anything falling out until I could pull into the services and lock it. I was doing 50 mph for about 20 miles before I could pull over.
The moral of the story of course is to check these items yourself rather than trust them to a woman
