Jonesey Report 5 Feb 2012 07:43

Just had a phone call from my daughter. She has been on holiday in Tenerife and was due back on a flight due to arrive at Birmingham airport at 0:55am this morning. On the way back the plane was first diverted to Cardiff airport and was making its descent there when it was re-diverted to Manchester airport.

After landing in Manchester at 2:10am they were told that they would be returned to Birmingham by coach but were then told that no coaches were available. Now they have been told that Birmingham airport is open this morning so they will be flown back to Birmingham but no time has been mentioned.

Britain + Snow = Total Chaos.

Hmmmmm just wondering what 2 rashers, eggs and grapefruit will look like on a plate....... :-D



Thank you Sylvs........my attention was immediately drawn to the creme brulee :-D :-D



Jonesey - I so agree........you would hope that those in authority would have learned some lessons from the last couple of winters....but no.


Snow = panic mode.


Mind you, we're as guilty in this house. From the end of our drive we are about 6 ft. from a main road.

The problem is, our drive is on a slope, so I have to reverse down that slope and then reverse up a slight slope onto the road. (which is naughty).

Or, my usual way is to reverse down the slope, turn at an angle and then drive partway up a slight slope on the pavement - which is our normal way of getting out.

However, ice and slopes don't mix. :-( :-(


We are staying put till things look a bit better.


I had to dig snow away from the garage this morning because I had some vegetables out there..........they were frozen!


Roll on Spring.............. :-D :-D

You use china? Now you're just showing orf. We only use china on best occasions! :-D


There's a bit of a thaw on here thank goodness. Have told daughter I am taking her home early - before it freezes again!

Hello everyone!

ooops - missed lunch! [sorry Sylvia!] dont suppose that you have any of that Wild Mushroom Pate + Butternut Squash and Roasted Garlic Soup in the hidey hole do you? [it sounds delicious!!]

Nearly finished updating my family tree ... well got 98% of the names back on it - but none of the detail I did have. My memory isnt brill - but I find myself thinking of stuff in the early hours of the morning that I must remember to find!!!

For those who didnt read the book - the film of the 'time traveller's wife' is on tonight at 9pm. I hope that the film is as good as the book - cos the book was brillient!!! I would highly recommend it to those who like books that are written 'differently' - I am looking forward to the film [way past my normal bedtime, but hopefully worth staying up for!!!] ;-)

Tis quiet as per usual for a Sunday night...........


Dea will be cream crackered after the birthday party I imagine.


Fans is always cream crackered these days what with Mr H around.


Don't know where jax is.

I think Sylvs is around but she hasn't popped in here as yet.


I've had to turn off because my IE8 was playing up on every site I went on. Anyway, it's sorted itself out now I think...... :-S


May go to the other side for a play ............ ;-)

There you all are................. :-D


Snow is still thick on the ground, had gritters this morning and they came again later but sons car was stuck at the top of our road so they couldnt get through!

I ended up shifting it and parking at the bottom of the drive, as like you Cyns, its on a slope and wouldnt risk attempting to get it up
