Not a question this time but a quick update on

Switzerland to the Channel through France and Belgium is quite a long drive.

Did you do it non-stop,  or are you quarantining?

Two full days driving, with overnight stay in Belgium and yes we're quarantining now.  

According to government guidelines, if you are transiting through France and avoid contact with other people whilst doing so, you don't need to quarantine upon return to U.K. So we are doing the drive back from Italy in one go at the moment. We stop at the Aires  to use the loos and pay at the pump for petrol. It's a long drive but a few good podcasts help!
