Crawling around Chelsea

State Opening of Parliament + Chelsea Flower Show = one very slow, very stressful drive to the office. The last mile took me an hour – we were just crawling, bumper to bumper. Even my usual method of reducing the stress of traffic jams by using them to do something useful (such as learning French) didn’t seem to ease the frustration of being stuck and having no choice but to wait it out. Thank goodness the journey home was much better but I’ll try to remember to take the train the next time all the roads around Parliament Square are closed!
