So I spent the last few days up in Manchester seeing church family and friends and visiting relatives.
In case you didn’t see the news (or the copious amounts of facebook updates I posted…) England got a bit cold the past week!
My flight on Friday was cancelled because of the snow so on Saturday I had to both fly in and travel up to Manchester in one day (a whopping 17 hour journey door to door with no less than six modes of transportation). And as I drove from Manchester to Chester yesterday I had a crash course (bad choice of words, no actual crashes) in how to control a car on ice when you have lost all grip on all wheels.
Actual fun times.
And, I’m not going to rub it in, but I do need to point out that it was about 16C the day before I left Athens. And it was about 0C on average throughout my travels around the UK. And at night it’s gone down to as low as -6C in Manchester.
Despite the fact that I’ve been freezing, that I almost totalled my parents car, that British airports can’t seem to cope with snow, I remain convinced that there is a positive side to all this weather: England looks very pretty in the snow! And here’s a photo to prove it.
Manchester in the snow. Yes, there are pretty parts of Manchester!
Apologies if I didn’t manage to see you whilst I was in Manchester, my time was absolutely jam packed. Hopefully next time!
One other thing to say: MERRY CHRISTMAS everyone!
