It is not raining at the moment, but the village is still in the clouds. Thanks for asking!
Roof not leaking :j although husband is still sceptical as there is usually a delay while the water seeps through the roof. I however am convinced it is going to stay dry.:)(AKA HRH_MUngo)

Glad you're warm and dry, but it's sad about your son's visit. There must be many thousands who have been upset by the travel difficulties. Could your son consider a Eurolines trip? Long and tiring, but at least they'd get there.Much of the social history of the Western world over the past three decades has involved replacing what worked with what sounded good. - Thomas Sowell, "Is Reality Optional?", 19930

What is Eurolines, is it a train? Apparently theyare all full! Anyway by the time he got here it would be time to go back, they only have a week. If they had longer it would be worth a try.
Some holiday-homers from the village are going back on the bus on Tuesday if there are still no flights.(AKA HRH_MUngo)
