Well we had a good Samaritan. We were going to look after the grandchildren for 4 days while mummy and daddy flew to Berlin with 8 friends for a 50th Birthday celebration. The roads were blocked with drifts and we couldn't get to them and they couldn't get to us.

Then one of their friends came and picked us up in a 4 by 4 and avoiding the blocked roads they got us here in time for the parents to drive to London this evening. They fly out of London city airport in the morning ,fingers crossed.And Billy and I can have a 4 day holiday in a lovely cottage with the two little girls.

I don't remember weather like this in the UK before, Billy of course, New Jersey boy that he is, finds the country grinding to a standstill hilarious!!

Keep warm crew members over here, and lots of love to everyone
