00:00 So we set off at 2.30 yesterday morning and drove all the way to Dover for the 10.40 crossing over
00:08 to Calais. We then drove non-stop from Calais to Jouisburg in West Germany where we stayed
00:14 overnight. They had a fantastic Christmas market there but their Christmas tree wasn't as good as
00:19 ours I'll have to say, although it was pretty amazing. We set off early doors this morning
00:25 and we're currently, I have no idea really where we are, we're currently somewhere near Bad Oeynson
00:31 in central Germany. We're stuck behind a massive accident and we've been parked up on the autobahn
00:36 for about about an hour or so now. I'm driving over here as you know with Councillor David
00:43 Braithwaite who is my navigator and coffee hander and second man who's doing an amazing job.
00:50 Yeah it's a long way, it's a difficult journey, it's a very tiring journey but it's a necessary
00:56 journey to support children in Ukraine and to support the people of Ukraine and as you may or
01:02 may not know tomorrow we are meeting up with the mayor of Kopachinzi.
