Cold Snap.

Just as we’ve been getting excited over a few daffodil buds coming up and hoping to see a bit of the beautiful British spring before we leave... London has been hit with a cold snap… not that we’re complaining Winter has been kind to us with days of a chilly but bearable and sunny 5c, even if the sun is only out for a couple of hours a day.

On Thursday we drove home from Surrey in 2c with sleet and snow all the way but none that stayed on the ground. Today is about 3c and sunny which is bearable but it’s that bitter bitter Arctic north wind that chills every inch of a person if they brave the outdoors.

David left for his last trip to Scotland on Friday morning, he was loaded down with spare parts for the Sydney Bus that the Scottish Bus Museum is restoring… David had the parts in his garage in Turramurra and they were posted to him by Gwilym… £30 Customs Duty had to be paid which is silly because these parts were made in Britain about 50 years ago and sent to Sydney in our Double Decker buses… it had something to do with the parcel coming from outside an EU country. David won’t be back in London till Tuesday night, I know how much fun he must be having.
