The saga of Heathrow Airport

Heathrow Airport is apparently mostly up and running but they are still trying to clear the backlog of planes still sitting on the tarmac. They are also not letting any planes land that were due in yesterday because of the congestion. So Darren is still comfortably settled in his hotel in Frankfurt. Singapore Airlines are hoping to organise a coach to take anyone back to London that want to travel by road. They still have to fly to Heathrow to collect passengers waiting there so people can wait and travel back on the plane but when? Billie rang us from Istanbul to say she may be on a flight to Stansted but we have heard nothing since. She got up really early this morning to get back on the plane to Heathrow but of course it did not take off.
What a pain!

Donna and I went for a walk in the woods. So beautiful and crispy white.

Reece and Karen are here also. This is their little van which they have been sleeping in as they travel the UK and Europe. They had to start using hotels once they got to Holland, way back in November, due to the extreme cold. The van is a Renault Express (the Greeen Goblin) and has a click clack bed, plus stove, sink and cupboards. A very compact camper van.
