Good to see you, Rob.
How was your holiday in sunny Spain?
It was fantastic.
The sun, the beach, the sea, the food and the people.
It was perfect.
How about you, Helen?
Did you manage to get away for the weekend?
We had a good start to our weekend at the seaside, but it was just awful on the way back.
Oh, dear.
What happened?
We decided to drive down instead of getting the train.
Good idea.
Well, with a car you can explore the coast easily, can't you?
But the train can be less stressful.
And the return journey was absolutely crazy.
So many people going back to London after the weekend.
Ah, so the traffic was bumper to bumper.
