We arrived at Hanwell in time to select a safe and accessible parking location - a short distance from Kevan and Maddie’s house. Not an easy task to find parking in the streets around Hanwell.
We had planned to meet Maddie later in the morning but found our plans were completely upended by the last thing we thought might happen - the van wouldn’t start. After all the miles we had done, and all the different places etc that we had travelled, right at the end of our trip we have a flat battery. You wouldn’t believe it!
Our only thoughts were to get the van started and to locate a auto business that would sell and fit a battery - on a Saturday afternoon! We contacted the road side assist in an endeavour to jump start the van, but this was going to take at least another hour! The roadside assist was just booked when James turned up and we decided to jump start from his car to save time. This being successful we then canceled the roadside assist and drove to the battery replacement centre and had a new battery fitted.
After all the drama we returned to Maddie’s place for the afternoon and the evening. It was lovely to be with her and Kevan, catching up on all the news.
