Take a different turn

How exciting... well exciting for a journey into work anyway.
As normal had to face the traffic jams from hell where they are building the new bus lane off of Essex Regiment Way and it was freezing this morning... very hard leaving my bed to go to work.
While sitting in the traffic I noticed again that some cars were going down a side road... and I wondered where it actually led out on?
I thought bugger it and followed a few vehicles down some twisty country lanes and I had no idea were I was going. A couple of my scouts turned off at various junctions in different directions which panicked me a bit, but I followed a white van like a woman on a mission. By this point I was seriously hoping that he wasn't going to pull on his mum's drive to deliver her shopping or something, as I hadn't seen anywhere that I recognised as yet. I did wonder what they would say if I banged on their door and asked if he could carry on driving to my workplace pleeeease.
It actually turned out to be quite a mini adventure, nice houses... like really nice houses in fact, a pretty church and a lovely village green... do you know I giggled like a silly girl the whole way and I wasn't lost as I came out onto a road that I recognised in the end. Best of all, I was in such a good mood by the time I got to work, that I highly recommend it!
So the moral of this tale is do something something different tomorrow and make yourself smile, as the warm feeling lasted nearly all day. When you let yourself feel grumpy then you hunch up and feel pants.
In fact I may even take the opposite turning tomorrow... but I will warn Sam to watch out for the flare in case I really get lost!

lots of love Debbie x
