Not serious, @Lizzie27, thanks - just temporarily painful - and irritating, because today has been dry and sunny and I was looking forward to gardening...
Since 2019 I've lived in east Clare, in the west of Ireland.
Do you know anyone you can borrow a battery charger from? Or call the AA/RAC/whichever breakdown service she has, if she has homestart as part of the cover. They'll probably be able to push/pull it out and jump-start it.
Doncaster, South Yorkshire. Soil type: sandy, well-drained
She has cover through her insurance, and they've been called. I'm not sure one can jump start an automatic by pushing it (backwards in this case, as she always goes into the garage forwards), so it'll need charging. Then she can take it down the motorway. It's due to go for it's MOT on Tuesday, so it needs to be able to get there, then. 🤐
We used to go away for 3 months every winter and our car / van always started first time when we got got home. I suspect there's an underlying problem here .
If it’s dead after just 3 weeks there’s probably a good reason, seems a new one is needed, trouble with batteries these days they’re either working or not, no in between. Not like the old days when a charger would put it right.
Gardening on the wild, windy west side of Dartmoor.

Here's hoping the discomfort eases, and you are able to more more freely.
I don't drive.
Now she needs it, it has a beautifully flat battery, in the garage.
