Weather/Daughter update.
We have had a lot of snow overnight. The place LOOKS beautiful. The snow is still softly drifting down and we have enough food and drink in...
D-d has just rung me from the airport in Liverpool to say that her flight is cancelled - and with some quick phone-calls I have managed to get her a seat on the boat that sails from Birkenhead (about 15 or so miles from where she is at the moment) at 2pm - so she is getting a taxi down to the boat, and should be back on the island, at least, by 6.15pm. (As long as D-d and a taxi driver can work out where in Birkenhead the boat sails from... still, check in doesn't close until 1.30pm...)
But I have no idea how we will then get her from the boat up home - we are at about 300-400 ft above sea level and the journey between here and the sea terminal, therefore, involves a couple of very steep hills no matter which route I take! She could probably walk up to my sister's if needs be - still up hill, but only about 2/3 mile from the Sea Terminal.
Also - I still have Christmas cards to post! But even if we got them to the post box I can't see the box being emptied today.
And - Tomorrow is the church Nativity Service - I'm not all that sure that that will be able to go ahead, either.
But it does look very pretty...
