We'll give it until tomorrow lunch, and if there's no change we need to decide whether to take the Tunnel, an alternative ferry crossing, or postpone the whole thing.

The fishermen are blockading today but tomorrow there is a NATIONAL strike!!

M20 in UK now closed due to a back log of traffic so that the lorrys have somewhere to form a line

Maybe Hull to Belgium an option?

Latest today, as I understand it, is that the national strike will affect air and rail but not ferries.

Fingers crossed

Really gotta crack on with work today, so won't be able to keep watching this like I did yesterday.

Keep me posted.
