M5 traffic jam

[mothhawk]

Was anyone stuck on the M5 yesterday? Were you close enough to enjoy the impromptu rendering of Pachelbel’s Canon?

How lovely was that at chilling the frustration

What a marvellous idea, music to calm those frayed nerves.

My favourite piece of music and my daughter walked down the aisle to that 3 years ago...brings a tear to the eye!

Brilliant video, MH, brought back some memories too.

My Mum used to work in a bakery and would bring home loads of "rejects" for us.
My in-laws lived in Cornwall and often, on a Friday evening, we'd head off down the M5 to see them, laden with cakes and buns.

One evening we were stuck in a similar traffic jam, traffic at a standstill, and people getting out of cars to stretch their legs. I wandered around the cars, offering my buns . Then others brought out their flasks of coffee and offered hot drinks around. Soon, we were all chatting and it felt like a tea party. I was actually quite sorry when the traffic started to move again and we had to say goodbye.
