Mrs Barratt is at @LeShuttle terminal waiting for her train TO France, to pick up Son 1 who's been staying with his grandparents, to then hopefully get straight on another hastily booked train back to the UK tonight to avoid quarantine. It's all very exciting. Will they make it?
That's exactly what it's called: https://twitter.com/georgeedpainter/status/1294173935261700098
I am actually played by Ryan Gosling in this film.

Mrs Barratt has heard about the film and insists there is 'nothing funny about this situation.'

But then Home Alone wasn't funny for Kevin *at the time*. https://twitter.com/georgeedpainter/status/1294175967414452224
Update: She is on the train to France.

Although the train TO France is unlikely to be the major challenge today.
ELLE EST EN FRANCE
Mrs Barratt is now with child.

Not like *that*. That would be an unexpected plot twist.

She has Son 1 dans la voiture. Now to return to the eurotunnel terminal in Calais.
So the queue at @LeShuttle in Calais is actually not that big yet...
The Macaulay Culkin character is relaxed at the moment but something *must* be about to go horribly wrong.

Train back to the UK, supposedly, in an hour.
*THEY ARE ON THE TRAIN*

This is almost disappointing.
