I did manage a lie in until 5.00am! What gloomy waether news there was. It seems that most local councils were “caught out” by the snow, so the gritters weren’t out. When are they ever prepared?? My sister had to abandon her car and walk five miles in the snow to her daughters. Her other daughter had taken her children to the panto and the 3 miles was four hours in the car and then a 15 minute walk! I did hear that High Wycombe branch of John Lewis opened their bed department for the travellers who were unable to get home…good for JL!!
After listening to the travel news on the radio, we had to make the decision (sadly) that we have to miss our today’s visits to see Scarlet, Jack and Karen and also Marion and Bryan and head straight for Cardiff.
Torin called from Poland (-20 degrees and everything functioning well!) to say that he doesn’t know whether he will get home for Christmas because of the backlog in the UcK airports. We were trying to do an “airport watch” for him. This country is always the same whatever “weather” there is, they can’t cope with it.
Mmm, yes I know for those reading in the TRNC that it is 20 degrees there!
We packed everything up and headed for Cardiff. It took us seven hours to get there. The Severn Bridge was shut because of falling ice! Plus fog, snow and ice on the way, not a great journey at all.
BUT it was lovely to see all the boys, Rhys and a blooming Lou.
