ПутешественникBy the time we were ready to go yesterday morning, the rain was torrential, and the wind like a hurricane. Just getting bags and children into the cars got us completely soaked through and very cold. My trousers were still wet when got home hours later. At least the flight was on time and our taxi was there to meet us, despite the snowstorm and the snow covered roads. Think we'll just stay in bed today.
Just like bank holiday!
