Home we came,
Home from our break,
Our break to our favourite place.
Along the Isle we went
To the ferry port,
Drove onto the ferry
And sailed gently,
Gently across the Solent.
Drove off the ferry,
Put the sat nav on,
Only another hundred and thirty miles,
A hundred and thirty miles to go.
The sat nav showed road closures
So it took us a different way,
A different way than normal.
It took us to places we had never seen,
Through towns and villages
But we were never held up.
We passed ponies and donkeys,
Cows and sheep
Wondering over the roads.
We saw horses looking in a shop!
We saw some great fun things,
We arrived home at the time we expected
In spite of not going our normal way,
So the sat nav got it right.

I had an American I couldn't get along with her, we just didn't understand each other. The Aussie that looks after me now is brilliant.
Happy day's.
So pleased about that 2781, mine is an English lady and seems to know her way. LOL

Nothing like a local.
LOL I don't use sat nav because I'd seriously end up at the top of a tree lol 🤣 someone in Florence ended up on the tram-via lines, it's much like the train tracks but fortunately for them, they were saved lol no no I get lost on a daily basis but without the sat nav.. very entertaining and very relatable 🌹
I am sure that you will always find the places you need to go Teddy.

Sometimes the unexpected bonus is the return home, 😁👍
It surely is AP. Thank you.

The road not taken? or at least not taken before. A fun read Gold and a reminder of all the seldom taken roads I have seen. Thanks for the memories.
Very true soren, some of the roads that I have taken in my life have led me to some wonderful times.
Andy
Sometimes that’s the best thing that can happen, a blessing in disguise,
I’m glad you had a joyful trip
Very true Melissa, thank you.

Wonderful. Often times a forced change brings new and rewarding experiences. A fine poem showing that some of today's new tech actually works and is of value. - Phil A.
Very true Phil, we can certainly ave some very rewarding experiences.

Love this, Andy. The scenic route! Can't beat it! The road less travelled, you could say. 🙂
Thank you Tom. Yes very true.
