On our way to Pasedina

We had been travelling for about an hour and a half, passing miles of orange and citrus trees in every direction 

Then it became more industrial with fields of nodding oil donkeys pipes and also I solar panels. 

We needed a break but getting off the highway became complicated to say the least but cracker barrel saved the day😂

By chance we came near one yummy

I couldn’t manage it all and it will last me all day. 

Is it Halloween now? Or Christmas?

You should see all the family houses decorated for Halloween 

We got back on the highway 119 surprisingly easily. Now we were 90 miles away from LA and 4 or 6 lanes to contend with 

We were calling at Santa Monica pier first. 

There was still agricultural fields and also citrus trees 

It looked like we were travelling into a bank of smog you could barely see the hills 

We saw one grass fire as we climbed up through the rockies 

91*f now! We were almost there vince managed so well in the traffic and we followed the sat nav instructions 

Got to the pier and the mist had rolled in and it was 63*f there! We had to put on jumpers …

We stayed on the pier to soak up the vibes  

And next we braved the traffic hoping to avoid the rush hour. It was a slow journey with 6 lanes of traffic 

Eventually we arrived in Pasadena the same hotel we stayed in 5 years ago so that helped as we knew where to turn into.

Sorry to hear all of Oxford is flooded so much. Schools shut and buses stopped 

Keep safe love you all.

(It’s 17.08 and 83*f here. At the hottest it was 99*f. So different)
