So I'm off to see my Mum. It's my birthday today and we have to have a tea party. I know, I'm a bit past that sort of thing, but Mum wants to see her 'baby' lol
Anyway, nice day so round the York ring road, pick up some petrol and over the top via Helmsley looks good.
The coffee worked its magic so pulled into a forest car park, as you do, then the interesting part started. Mrs M got out the iPad.
What are you doing? (Me)
Thought I'd check how long until we get there. (Mrs M)
How? (Me)
Google Maps. (Mrs M)
You'll need an Internet connection. (Me)
It's wireless, silly. (Mrs M)
Erm, we're 10 miles North of Helmsley, in a forest. (Me)
Anyway, she got a connection. No, it's not 3G. No, I have no idea how.
I knew she worked in mysterious ways. I also knew I'd lost, big-time, so I just went and kicked the tyres for a bit trying to look knowledgeable. Then she text my Mum and announced we'd be there in 40 minutes.
Wisely, I shut up and drove!
Were we there in 40 minutes? Yes!
