My friend Susan had persuaded me to go on a day trip to France with her and her fiancee Dave. We were to take the ferry and visit Calais. I hadn't fancied going especially if the sea was choppy.

Unsure what the weather would do I wore a long sleeved black t-shirt, fleece charcoal joggers, trainers and a plum coloured hoodie. With a fold up jacket in my handbag i brushed my long black hair and waited for Susan and Dave to pick me up.
