It's raining, intermittently most of the journey. There's lightning and thunder - we count the seconds - almost overhead. The flashing lightning and hammering rain distort the road and the constant roar of the closed windows and the roof rack drown out my passengers conversations. We drive on in relative silence.
I skidded earlier on the smooth, warm, wet road. My heart beats in my throat and ears and my shoulders are tense.
