We set off all excited for the Victorian Christmas at Tyntesfield. Got our tickets, bought membership as a Christmas pressie for our niece and went to wait for her in the cafe!

As we went to go in, 2 men dressed in black asked if we had a Renault, when we said yes they asked if it was grey and the reg number. They confirmed I was the 'right' person and told me to go with them - calling back to Niece to get the children! Panic started to set in so it was actually a relief when it turned out that a woman had watched our rear window 'explode' for no reason!

The others went off to enjoy the fabulous Victorian 'thing' and I tried to sort out glass replacement - the best we can get is Wednesday! So I gave up and joined the others deciding to worry about it all later. As the others queued for lunch, I went back to the car and with a super NT man (Events Organiser) we cleared up as much glass as we could and taped up the window with bin bags!

A slow drive back with 3/4 children and a mil sent off with Niece and the realisation that there is no way we can drive back to Cornwall with a child in the boot! So relieved we've always had the top breakdown cover - our relay slot home is booked with Green Flag...
