After a couple of hours behind the wheel, I got within a mile of my house and then stopped dead in gridlock. I u-turned and tried to go through Picotts End and up the back lanes into Grovehill, but when I got up there I came across white van man and his mate, who had just run their vehicle into a snowdrift and blocked the way. I had to give them a lift back down the lane (as far as a farm where they found a willing farmer with a Land Rover), where I then rejoined the queue and spent another hour getting home. If I'd been dressed for it I'd have abandoned the car on the verge and walked home in about 15 minutes.
