We were up early and had train tickets booked to go to Cardiff. Looking at the news and weather, South Wales was on red weather alert (snow). Should we go or not? Rhys contacted us and said trains were being cancelled and a lot of snow was falling. In the end it was a bit of a challenge, to see how far we could get! We decided that we would try to get to London and re-assess it when we arrived there. At St Pancras the snow was quite heavy. On to Paddington only to find our train had been cancelled. Of course in true rail style, the enquiry desk was empty and the board gave us no clues at all as to whether we would get to our destination.
Finally after standing there for half an hour, there was a train to Swansea,stopping at Cardiff Central. Of course the train was busy because another had been cancelled.
We had a good journey with a lovely lady named Bami sitting with us, so the journey went by really quickly. There was rather a lot of camaraderie because of the snow. Imagine our surprise when we came out of Cardiff station and the snow wasn’t up to our knees! Rhys was kind enough to come out and pick us up, back to their house and he cooked us all dinner.

Thought for the Day – “Advice is like snow – the softer it falls, the longer it dwells upon and the deeper in sinks into the mind.” ~ Samuel Taylor Coleridge
