Frozen

We are so relieved that we hadn’t planned to travel anywhere this holiday season - the whole of the UK is frozen and it seems that the Continent and the north east of the USA are also locked in the weather’s icy grip. I’ve been watching the news reports of all those people stuck at airports and also traumatised by the Eurostar breakdowns (reported as due to the “wrong sort of snow” by Channel 4) - ooh, I really feel for them. What a hideous way to start the Xmas festivities!

We’re planning to spend the next few days snug at home. We have a full fridge and freezer, lots of wine and chocolate as well as a stack of books and DVDs. I’ve brought down some duvets and knitted rugs to the living room so we can sprawl on the sofas cosily. I also plan to catch up with some blogging and social networking on my cute little netbook - which I’ve worked out how to use while lying down!

Wishing everyone a happy holiday season - and to those who are trying to travel to friends and family: the very best of luck for getting to your destination as soon as possible!
