Road trip || Leah Williamson

Masterlist | Prompt list

Part of the mini Williamson series.

Summary you and Leah decide to take Ami on a road trip before little miss arrives.

“Everything packed?” You asked Leah as she walked through door, having put all the suitcases in the car.

You’d decided to take Amelia away for a few days down to Cornwall before the baby came.

After the whole situation at the airport and Ami thinking you loved the baby more than her, you figured it would be a good idea to take her away just the three of you.

You were only going for a few nights due to you being so late in your pregnancy but it was classed as an emergency for you, desperately wanting to savour this time with Ami.

“Everything’s all packed. Ready to go?” Leah asked, wrapping her arm round your waist.

You hummed quietly, still sleepy considering you were leaving at 6am to try beat traffic.

Leah crept upstairs, lifting Ami from her bed, trying her best to keep her asleep.

“Mummy?” Ami mumbled into Leah’s neck.

“I’m here, bubba. Go back to sleep.” Leah said, kissing her head as she went down the stairs.

Leah buckled Amelia into her car seat before jumping in the drivers seat.

“Right, pretty girl, all ready to go?” Leah asked, a big grin on her face.

“You’re kidding.” You sighed

“What?” Leah questioned, confused as hell.

“Le, you forgot to lock the door.” You pointed out

“I knew I forgot something.”

—

“Can we stop at the next services, baby? Little miss is kicking me right in the bladder.” You said, moving around in your seat to get comfortable.

It was about the fifth time in two hours you’d said them words.

“Sure, love. They’re seven miles away.”

After being on the road for not even six miles since stopping, you were asking Leah to stop again.

And again and again.

—

You’d finally managed to make it to the small holiday house you were staying in, after stopping what must have been twenty times.

“Beach!” Ami cheered, seeing the beach at the bottom of the small hill.

“We go later, bubba.” You told her, opening the boot and attempting to get a bag out.

“Woah, no. You go sit down, I’ve got these.” Leah said, jumping into action and taking the bag from you.

“Le—” You began but Leah cut you off.

“—No. You got put your feet up and relax. Me and Ami can bring these inside, can’t we, bubba?”

“Yes mummy.” Amelia nodded with a grin, taking the bag, which only had a few bits in and taking it inside.

“You and little miss go rest, we won’t be long.” Leah said, pressing her lips to your cheek.

“Thank you.”

—

“Beach now?” Ami babbled, pointing out the window to the sand and sea.

“Hmm. What do you think mummy? Should we take Ami to the beach?” You jokingly asked, Leah going along with it too.

“Maybe.” Leah said, tapping her finger on her chin.

“Please mummy. Please mama.” Amelia begged, doing her best puppy eyes, knowing somehow at just two years old, that you and Leah can’t say no to them.

“Go on then. Go find your goggles.” Leah smiles, Ami running round excitedly.

—

“That feels nice.” You told Leah, who was massaging sun cream into your back.

“Where’s is sore?” Leah questioned and you guided her hands to where you needed it massaged.

Delicately rubbing the knots of tension out, Leah watched as Ami built sand castles.

“All done, babe. Time for the bump now.” Leah squirted more sun cream onto her hand before laying on her stomach and rubbing the cream into your heavily pregnant baby bump. “Hi, bubba. Are you fighting mama’s bladder in there?”

“She is.” You sigh, playing the baby hairs on Leah’s neck.

“You’ve got to come out soon, little miss. We all want to meet you.” Leah whispered, kissing the bump tenderly.

“Mummy, swim!” Ami encouraged, holding onto Leah’s hand and trying to pull her up.

“I’m coming, I’m coming.” Leah told her, smiling widely at how excited Ami was.

“Mama watch.” Amelia exclaimed, before running and splashing in the water.

“You’re such a brave girl, Ami! Your baby sister is going to think you’re a hero when she’s born.” You said, hoping to somehow make Ami more excited about her little sister.

“Me love sissy.” Ami cheered, pressing a kiss to your bump.

You and Leah shared a look of achievement.

Maybe this holiday was all you needed to clear all those emotions.

M also had to be told to stand up by Harry at the funeral

Anon, you've just jogged my memory. I do recall this! It looked like she was taking her sweet little time to stand up. I just don't remember when during the funeral it was. I didn't see it in The Telegraph's footage of the funeral so I suspect it must have been in the BBC's official broadcast, the one that the BRF got taken down a few months ago.

Another incident is when they were in the car after the committal service, heading back up the hill to Windsor Castle. Meghan and Harry don't say anything to each other when they first get in the car outside St. George's Chapel in view of the camera, but there's another camera vantage point further up the hill that I don't think they were aware of, because when the car passes that camera, it looks like they're sniping at each other.

It was thirty years ago today…

With pipers playing a traditional Scottish air, the wedding party emerges from Crathie Kirk, near Balmoral Castle. From the left: the bridegrooms mother, Mrs Barbara Laurence, Commander Tim Laurence, the Princess Royal, the Queen and the brides daughter, Zara Phillips.

The wedding of The Princess Royal and Commander Tim Laurence

HELLO! Number 233 | Published: December 19th 1992 | Article 1/2

Princess Anne's short and simple wedding ceremony turned into a traditional Highland celebration when she and her husband drove through the gates of Balmoral Castle. Estate workers had prepared an open carriage drawn by fell ponies to take the laughing newlyweds up the hill to their reception in the Queen's Scottish home. It was a romantic ending to an intimate country wedding on Royal Deeside.

Just as the bride had wished, it was a quiet, unpretentious affair with only immediate family plus a few close friends and estate workers present. In stark contrast to the grand state occasion of her first marriage at Westminster Abbey 19 years ago, last week's ceremony was consecrated in a tiny granite kirk on a bleak hill in the remote and beautiful landscape beneath Lochnagar.

Outside Crathie Church, a small crowd had gathered by mid-morning in freezing temperatures, five hours before the bride arrived. The groom, smiling nervously, was the first of the bridal party to arrive with his brother Jonathan and best man Charles Barker-Wyatt. Tim Laurence, 37, wearing the uniform of a Royal Navy commander, looked at the sky and told his friend: "The weather is not too bad."

At 2.50pm the Queen, the Queen Mother and Prince Charles arrived in a Land Rover driven by the Duke of York. He gallantly leaped out to help his 92-year-old grandmother when she said: "I can't get down. Can you help me?" He brought a footstool from the back of the car and placed it by her door so that she could step down without difficulty. Next to arrive was Princess Margaret with Anne's son Peter in another Land Rover driven by Prince Edward.

When the bride finally swept into view down the road from the castle the frozen crowd gave her a warm welcome. As her car, driven by her father, the Duke of Edinburgh, slowly crept past, it was possible to see that Anne, 42, was wearing an ivory woollen suit. Her hair, for the first time in years, flowed down her back beneath a small brown hat decorated with freesias, and she carried a small posy of white Highland heather. In the back seat was her only attendant, her 11-year-old daughter Zara Phillips, in a warm red hooded coat.

The princess removed a brown checked shawl she had worn around her shoulders on the half-mile trip from the castle as the car pulled up outside Crathie Kirk. Then, her happiness clear for all to see, she paused at the church door and checked that Zara was right behind her. When the organ music began she turned to her father, took his arm, grinned and said: "Come on."

The ecumenical Church of Scotland service was conducted by the Minister at Crathie, the Reverend Keith Angus, a member of the Queen's Chapel Royal in Scotland.

The bride did not promise to obey. Instead, according to the ritual of the unrevised Church of Scotland Marriage Service, the couple simply pledged to be "faithful and dutiful" to one another. With Zara Phillips standing beside her mother holding her white heather posy, the Reverend Keith Angus told the couple that "marriage was not to be entered upon lightly or inadvisedly, but thoughtfully."

He reminded them that it was also "ordained for the lifelong companionship, help and comfort, which husband and wife ought to have of each other."

At the end of the solemnisation, the couple knelt together before the lona marble communion table at the front of the wood-panelled church. With the princess kneeling to the left of Commander Laurence, the couple both bowed their heads. The Queen and her family, in their own separate annexe, knelt in pine pews at right angles to the main congregation. Friends and estate workers followed suit as the Reverend Keith Angus recited the "favoured" blessing from the Church of Scotland's Book of Common Order.

At the end of the service, the newly married couple walked into the vestry to sign the register privately. And, just 25 minutes after the bride had walked down the aisle, the wedding was over.

Twilight comes early in the Highlands and dusk was creeping through the valleys as the newlyweds emerged from the kirk to the skirl of bagpipes. Two local pipers played a stirring rendition of the old Gaelic tune Mhairi's Wedding.

Two children who live on the estate then came forward to present the bride with bunches of heather before rejoining a dozen other local youngsters given a prime vantage point by the church door.

The beaming bride then beckoned to her daughter to come forward. “Are we all going to come out?" the Queen asked the Duke of Edinburgh, and when he nodded, the whole family joined Mr and Mrs Timothy Laurence outside.

Meanwhile, Princess Anne turned to her new mother-in-law and showed her the flowers and lucky horseshoes presented by the local children. When another guest asked where they came from, Anne indicated the excited crowd of youngsters on her left and said: "Over there."

As the couple received congratulations, the Queen asked: "Where are we going now?" Princess Anne replied: "We will have to wait to have our photographs taken before we go."

Then the bride stepped back into the blue Land Rover Discovery which had brought her to the church and, with Tim Laurence at the wheel, they drove slowly back down the hill and across the River Dee. Back at the church, the Queen walked over to say hello to the children. "Are you still having your Christmas play next week?" she asked. When informed it was still on, she apologised because she would not be able to attend. "I'm so sorry I will be missing it.

Then the whole family climbed back into their cars and followed the bride and groom on the short drive back to the castle. That is when the estate workers welcomed the newlyweds in true Balmoral style.

It has become a royal custom for the residents on the Queen's Scottish estate to mark special events in the family's lives in this way. When Prince Andrew came home a hero from the Falklands War the estate workers also decorated a cart to carry him from the castle gates. And instead of using ponies the locals pulled the open cart themselves. A similar celebration was arranged when Prince Charles and Princess Diana first visited the castle after their marriage.

On the happy day last week, the bride flung a white woollen shawl around her shoulders to keep out the cold on the slow, but fun-filled journey up the private road leading to the castle portico. Inside, the housekeeper was waiting with a real Highland high tea - including the local black bun, a kind of fruit loaf, that all the royals love so much. An hour after the wedding reception began, it was all over, and the guests began heading back along the Deeside Road to Aberdeen airport.

The princess and her husband drove off to spend their brief three-day honeymoon half a mile away at the grey stone Craigowen Lodge beside the Balmoral golf course. There housekeeper, Hazel Essen, had a warm fire waiting in the drawing room grate to welcome them. Then the newlyweds shut out the world to enjoy being man and wife.

It was not the usual kind of royal wedding. But as the bride once said: "I was never the fairytale princess." For the royal family it was a heart-warming occasion, a happy new beginning at the end of a year during which the Queen and her relatives have been beset by troubles.

It was the first time a divorced member of the Queen's immediate family had remarried. And as the Church of England does not sanction the remarriage of divorces, the princess had decided to hold her wedding north of the border where the Church of Scotland does carry out such ceremonies.

The happy result was a gathering of the blood royal members of the Queen's family in their best-loved rural retreat. It was a show of solidarity by the people who love the bride best - her parents, her three brothers and her grandmother.

Far away from the strife that has surrounded them all year, they could have a happy day privately with the spotlight of the media kept at a distance. And the small crowd who had gathered there to wish them well thoroughly approved of the starkly simple ceremony.

Lena Morrison, a nurse from the nearby village of Cairney, summed up the feelings of many when she said: "Now she is getting her second chance at happiness and we are here to show her and her mother - that we love and support them." The loudest cheers of all came when the Queen passed by.

As her annus horribilis drew to an end everyone seemed to be hoping that the New Year would be filled with many more occasions just as happy as her daughter's second wedding.

Princess Anne and Commander Tim Laurence step out into their new life together, as delighted family, friends and estate workers crowd around the church door to wish them every happiness for the future. Two local pipers in traditional dress played the Gaelic tune ‘Mhairi’s Wedding’ to greet the newlyweds.

Following the ceremony the Duke of Edinburgh drove the Queen Mother, The Queen and Prince Charles back to Balmoral for the reception (left and centre). Prince Andrew drove Princess Margaret and Prince Edward back from Crathie Church to Balmoral (right). It was cold and dark by the time the royal party arrived at the castle but their spirits were high as they celebrated the Princess Royal’s special day.

As the newlyweds set off for the reception at Balmoral Castle, the crowds who had gathered outside the church wished them a long, happy and healthy future together. The brides posy of white heather was propped on the dashboard of the couples blue Discovery for the short journey (above).

[more-than-a-princess]

Closed, plotted starter for @aceparagon!

A nearly two hour train ride to one of Novoselic's smaller mountain towns hadn't been on her official royal diary, if Sonia was to be honest. Her short holiday home from Japan, away from her life as a normal student at Hope's Peak Academy, was supposed to be filled with meetings, tours of various new establishments and important cultural organizations, several formal dinners, a house party in the countryside, and at least one gala that required a gown to be fitted to her nearly as soon as she stepped off the private jet.

It did not include an anti-aristocracy demonstration in the capital, a short distance away from Novoselic Castle. From what she'd been briefed on, it was a ceremony to honor those who had given special services to the country: in science, in sports and in the arts. It was the son of a Marquess that had been targeted: it was common knowledge amongst the members of the aristocracy that his position on the national football team had been all but bought and paid for by his father, but the young man still proved to be a decent athlete. To the point that, for the first time in decades, Novoselic had won the European Cup and he had been named MVP of the entire competition, now picked to head the Olympic team. Something that didn't sit right with some of the citizens, enough to stage an attack on the ceremony itself to protest the nepotism and wealth involved: smoke bombs and other explosives meant to destroy the stage her uncle, brother of the King of Novoselic and entrusted to handle the ceremony, and the football player to receive the medal were standing on, hoping to take them and other members of the peerage with it as it crumbled.

Except that hadn't come to pass. Instead, one of the bystanders had stepped (or perhaps jumped) into the fray and had diverted the explosive elsewhere, rescuing the intended targets but not without taking the brunt of the fall and subsequent explosion themselves. There had been a great amount of rubble and debris, Sonia had been told, and after she had visited her uncle recuperating at his home in the capital with her aunt and cousins, her father had made the gentle suggestion that perhaps the Princess of Novoselic might pay the hero a visit. After all, her schedule was far more flexible than her parents', and with her cousins too young and her aunt far too shaken up to leave their royal apartments, it was decided that Sonia would make the impromptu hospital visit. Well outside of the capital, the patient was apparently healing at a hospital near the part of the Alps that ran through Novoselic. At that time of year, the snowy skiing trails had melted away for rich, green hills, wildflowers, and the tall waterfalls.

There were worse places to convalesce in, Sonia thought as she was ushered from the royal train, to a car with bulletproof doors and windows, to the balloon-adorned entrance to the hospital. The Royal Family had spared no expense in a public display of gratitude: complete with photographers, plenty of handshakes and smiles, and an array of wrapped gifts. It was publicized as an official visit to the pediatrics ward, thus the amount of toys, treats, and other amusements that required a dozen handlers to carry behind her. But the truth was, Sonia was there to thank The Hero on behalf of her family, and that was something no amount of books, or video games, or towers of chocolate confections could convey.

The person who diverted the explosion is young, like you, Her father had told her the day before, after summoning her to his formal office: the far more stuffy one that had zero trace of the father she loved and filled with reminders of his title and the centuries-long responsibility the House of Nevermind had in protecting and guiding the nation. I am certain they would much prefer your company to mine or your mother's. You will go in my stead, Sonia: be grateful, and listen to whatever they have to say.

She didn't doubt that, at least where her mother was concerned: hospital visits weren't often the highlight of Queen Valentina's diary unless they were particularly brief and a necessary PR move. Thankfully, she was down to one assistant to accompany her, holding a gift basket and a wrapped present: the rest of the loot had already been distributed among the other young residents of the ward. "You may go in now, Your Highness," the head nurse smiled at her, bobbing into a small curtsy after knocking twice on the patient's door. "I'm sure she'd like a visitor besides all of us doctors and nurses!"

And the press, Sonia thought. Once they figured out that The Hero had been swept away from the capital soon after emergency services arrived, nearly every major news organization in Novoselic would be making their way north for an interview. "Thank you, my family is very grateful that you were able to assist in this matter," She replied, returning the nurse's smile before stepping through the open door.

Her father had been right: the girl in the hospital bed did look similar to Sonia herself in age, with blonde hair and Asian features. It was entirely possible she was Novosonian, considering how many Japanese expats had come to the country since the second World War and settled there. But she hadn't been found with any official licenses or passports indicating she was a Novoselic citizen. Where did she come from, then? "Good morning," Sonia greeted her, pausing her steps a comfortable distance away from the side of the hospital bed. Her hand rested against the back of the chair situated beside it. "How are you feeling? I am told that my family and I have you to thank for minimizing the possible disaster that could have befallen those present. You have done a wonderful, selfless thing that cannot ever be fully repaid. Thank you, Miss..." She trailed off, checking the notes she'd been given before looking back at the girl in the bed.

"You know, this does not happen often, but I do not think I was told your name. With that in mind," She smiled, holding out her hand for the girl to reach and shake if she wished. "My name is Sonia Nevermind, it is a pleasure to meet you." It went against protocol: in situations like this, Sonia was often introduced by others or, most likely, she needed no introduction as the Crown Princess and heir to the throne. Still, she didn't care much for formalities, especially in a situation like this: this girl could've died to save members of the aristocracy. Being introduced by her title seemed superfluous now.

tokyo tohoku trip - day 5.

woke up early morning after a good night sleep for another great day out, my sleeping schedule was so good during this trip for some reason, haha... XD i went to the morning market nearby the hotel to have a look but they mostly sell fresh food and stuff for cooking, so i decided to get some breakfast from convenient store which i really want to eat.

after enjoying my breakfast at my hotel room, i decided to just pack and check out first, and leave my luggage with the hotel receptionist so that i don’t have to come back until i am ready to leave sendai tonight.

my first place to visit is the sendai castle ruins/aoba castle ruins 仙台城跡, which is up a hill. i went to the nearest train station and started to walk, it didn’t occur to me that i would need to hike up the hill until i reach there and saw the walking path. also, the shorter route was closed off because some trees fall on the road, so i had to hike up a longer route, it was totally unexpected and quite tiring. it’s a good thing that the weather is chilly and i just walk up slowly and take rests in between, and since there’s no car or not crowded at all, i had the whole path to myself.

the city view at the top of the hill is beautiful, as it is a sunny day, you can really see very far away and there’s also a group of people filming some dance video there, which is interesting to watch. while this place used to be the castle, you don’t get to see any castle as it was destroyed and was never rebuilt. there’s VR service available for tourist who is interested to see what it used to be like though.

i walked around a bit and found a shrine, which is always nice to visit. miyagiken gokoku shrine 宮城縣護國神社 is not huge, but a decent size and it also look quite nice, i bought some souvenirs for my friend and myself too. after exploring around for a while, i found out that there’s a bus service to take me back to town, so of course i took that and went back to sendai station for lunch.

as beef tongue is a specialty in sendai, i found that there’s a whole row of restaurants dedicated to gyutan at the station, i chose a restaurant that has good review and queued up for it as all restaurants there are packed and super crowded during lunch time. zenjirou たんや善治郎 has quite a simple menu with different cuts and quantity for their set meal, you also get white rice, yam and beef soup with the meal which is very nice. i ordered 4 pieces of thick cut gyutan and it was really really good, i like the simple flavor, the charcoaled taste and the chewy texture of the beef tongue, it goes very well with rice and the soup is quite li8ght and refreshing to complete the meal.

after a satisfying meal, i stop by the zunda saryo ずんだ茶寮 to get the edamame shake. this is also a popular item from sendai, it is very refreshing, sort of like fruit smoothie, but the bean taste is light and refreshing, i really do enjoyed this very much. they also sell some snacks and souvenir which you can buy and bring home.

for the afternoon, i took the local train to matsushima for a boat ride to check out the beautiful islands around matsushima bay 松島湾. apparently, this view is one of the most beautiful and highly recommended. i booked the boat ride ahead so there’s a discount, however, you can also buy tickets on the spot as well.

the boat has huge windows so you can sit inside and look out to enjoy the view while listening to the narration (in japanese), which is a very relaxing thing to do. there’s also a special cabin on the upper floor which require extra fees, so i didn’t go there. the other option is to go outside and enjoy the sea breeze which is fun and great for photos. the view is already very nice, and adding sunset to it make it even better as the water color just changes over time. it is definitely worth checking this out as it was beautiful and such a relaxing activity.

once we are back from the boat ride, i decided to visit a cafe before leaving, as i do still have time until my dinner appointment. shokado cafe 松華堂菓子店 is just by the seaside and they sell various kind of rice crackers, snacks and dessert as souvenir. i ordered hojicha with  a kinako sandwich (soybean flour puff) きなこサンド to enjoy while looking at the sea and sunset. the cafe is not busy hence it is the perfect place to just chill and have a good time.

for dinner, shiogama is a nearby town where it is known to have the most sushi restaurants in whole of japan. and the fish here is super fresh and not being frozen because it is so close by to the sea. my friend helped me make a reservation at sushi shirahata 鮨 しらはた, and i reached there slightly earlier and the staff are super nice and friendly.

with my limited japanese, i managed to ask the chef for some recommendations and what is fresh and good for the day and picked out the food i want to eat. i ordered hotate and shirako (fish semen) for appetizer, sashimi and a sushi platter. the appetizer is actually amazing, there’s a difference in texture for the hotate (scallops) between the ones i enjoyed in aomori and this one. both of them is very good and there’s no fishy taste at all, in fact this is very refreshing with the sauce. shirako is a weird dish, but i quite like it as the texture is so smooth and soft.

sashimi is made of out three type of fish that the chef recommended, all of them have different texture and taste, which is very enjoyable, some lighter taste and some heavier, it’s just so so satisfying to have good sashimi that just give you a different sensation every bite.

sushi platter has 10 piece of sushi with a slice of tamagoyaki. each piece is made so beautifully the whole plate is like an art itself. there’s different type of tuna, local fish, hotate, uni, anago and more. during the whole meal, i had a good time chatting with the chef while he is preparing my food, i’m glad that i get to use my japanese, while it is no where near perfect, at least he did understand what i said.

the service here is really awesome, the restaurant was quiet and the ambiance was really comfortable. the meal also included a bowl of hot shrimp soup and pear sorbet at the end to complete the meal. the whole experience is amazing and definitely highly recommended as i do feel the quality of fresh fish is better  here than in tokyo, and i do believe it is less pricey as well. i would love to be back again if there’s chance in the future.

heading back to sendai, i picked up my luggage from the hotel and also bought some souvenir from zunda saryo before boarding the shinkansen back to tokyo, which also marks the end of my tohoku exploration using my 5 days jr east pass. this pass is so worth it as i got to visit so many amazing places, i do love all the smaller towns and the scenery is just amazing. being able to see snow and play with snow is wonderful as well. there’s definitely so much more to explore as tohoku area is huge, so i would definitely like to visit again in the future.

for next day onwards, it’s gonna be tokyo and places around tokyo, to be continued...

Diesel Car Maintenance Tips For Smooth Driving Experience

One major misconception that every diesel car owner has is that diesel cars require more diesel service compared to petrol cars. This is true to some extent, but getting nervous about this is not a good idea at all. According to expert bar fitters, taking care of diesel cars is very easy with timely diesel services. This involves some easy tips, and tricks that we have discussed here.

HOW TO TAKE CARE OF YOUR DIESEL CAR?

Regardless of the fuel used in your car, it will require pampering, love, care, and regular maintenance. But diesel engine cars are like spoiled kids needing more than timely maintenance and care. They require complete attention and care using some easy maintenance tips.

TAKING CARE OF THE IGNITION PART

Diesel engines don't have a spark plug, which differentiates them from petrol cars. Ignition entirely relies on battery power in diesel cars. This is why electric health matters a lot, which means keeping the battery condition perfect and less exposed to stress or issues.

PREHEATING 

According to starter motor experts, initial heat is crucial for any engine to work optimally. Most vehicles come with an in-built heating mechanism, and you just have to wait for the indicator to tell you that the vehicle is sufficiently warm. This becomes more important during the winter season, and experts recommend heating the vehicle for more than 5 minutes before taking it out.

CLUTCH ENGAGEMENT

Export bar fitters recommend engaging the clutch during ignition, as it lessens the load on starter motors. Starter motors have to kick-start the diesel engine, and engaging the clutch assists the motor in this task. This ensures a longer life for the vehicle and lower maintenance costs. However, it is important not to exert too much pressure on the clutch and rely more on starter motors.

OPTIMAL REV RANGE

Experts in diesel service recommend keeping the optimal rev range. A higher rev of around 5000 RPM generates more sound, consumes more fuel, and degrades the engine and fuel economy. This is why experts recommend keeping the rev rate low at around 3000 rpm. This will keep your vehicle healthy and happy.

TIMELY DIESEL SERVICE

The last and most crucial step is availing of timely diesel services. Experts recommend bi-annual or quarterly servicing to keep diesel cars perfect forever. Servicing schedules should include engine oil top-up, coolant top-up, and servicing of air and oil filters. Particular attention should be given to starter motors, gaskets, wheels, tyres, and other crucial components.

Rent a Car in the UK: A Complete Guide for Travelers

Renting a car in the UK is one of the best ways to explore the country’s diverse landscapes, charming villages, and historic sites. With the freedom to travel at your own pace, a rental car allows you to access hidden gems that are off the beaten path. Whether you’re planning a scenic drive through the Cotswolds, exploring the rugged coasts of Scotland, or venturing into the Welsh countryside, here’s everything you need to know about renting a car in the UK.

1. Why Rent a Car in the UK?

Renting a car gives you the flexibility to explore beyond the main tourist routes. You can venture into remote areas, stop at picturesque towns, and create a personalized itinerary. While the UK has an excellent public transport system, many rural and scenic locations are best accessed by car. From the rolling hills of Yorkshire to the coastal cliffs of Cornwall, a car provides the ultimate freedom to experience the UK on your terms.

2. Choosing the Right Car Rental Company

The UK has a wide range of car rental companies, including international brands like Hertz, Avis, Enterprise, and Budget, as well as local providers. Booking in advance online usually offers the best rates and a broader selection of vehicles. Make sure to compare prices across different platforms, including rental comparison sites like Kayak, Rentalcars.com, and Expedia.

3. What You Need to Rent a Car in the UK

To rent a car in the UK, you’ll need:

• A valid driving license: International visitors from many countries can use their home driving license for up to 12 months. If your license is not in English, you may need an International Driving Permit (IDP).

• A credit or debit card: Most car rental companies require a credit card in the driver’s name for security deposits, although some may accept debit cards.

• Minimum age: The minimum age to rent a car in the UK is usually 21, but some companies have higher age restrictions for specific vehicle categories. Drivers under 25 may face a young driver surcharge.

4. Tips for Driving in the UK

• Drive on the Left: In the UK, you drive on the left side of the road, which can be challenging if you’re used to driving on the right. Take extra care at roundabouts and junctions.

• Understand Road Signs: UK road signs may differ from what you’re used to, so familiarize yourself with the basic signs and speed limits before setting off.

• Parking: Parking in city centers can be expensive and limited. Use park-and-ride services or look for car parks just outside busy areas.

• Fuel Options: Rental cars typically run on petrol or diesel. Check the fuel type before you refuel, as using the wrong type can cause significant damage.

5. Insurance and Additional Costs

Most car rental agreements include basic insurance, but this often comes with a high excess fee in case of damage. Consider purchasing excess insurance to reduce your liability. Additional costs can include extra drivers, GPS rental, and child seats, so factor these into your budget when booking.

6. Exploring the UK by Car: Top Routes

• Scotland’s North Coast 500: This iconic route offers stunning coastal scenery, historic castles, and the chance to spot wildlife like dolphins and seals.

• The Cotswolds: Drive through rolling hills, honey-colored villages, and beautiful countryside in one of England’s most picturesque regions.

• Wales’ Snowdonia National Park: Explore mountain landscapes, lakes, and charming Welsh villages on a scenic drive through this stunning national park.

• The Lake District: Discover England’s largest national park, with scenic drives around glistening lakes, dramatic fells, and quaint towns.

Renting a car in the UK provides the freedom to discover the country’s rich history, vibrant culture, and breathtaking landscapes. Whether it’s a short city break or an extended road trip, having a car gives you the flexibility to create your perfect UK adventure.
