I don't envy you that car journey, Leanne. I hate driving in bad weather conditions.
A couple of years ago we had a very bad storm here, close to Christmas, I was out with friends and my kids to the theatre, and we stayed for a meal there, too. We left in the car to come home, and it was gale-force winds, dark, and the roads were flooding really badly. I came up to a blind corner, where the road was badly flooded on the other side, and the oncoming car didn't slow down, and sprayed a huge sheet of water over my car. The wipers were on but I could not see anything, and I was very aware of the corner in front of me, steering blind and braking. We were very lucky - I ended up on the wrong side of the road, but fortunately for us the oncoming vehicle was a distance away and had stopped. I was so scared!
I'm sorry you've lost so much of your self-confidence, Kim.
I hope things improve with time.
