Scotland




The worst winter conditions in 20 years! That's what we've got here. Actually, anyone in Canada would laugh at us but we're feeling the cold more than we would have in the past.
We got away from London as planned. The train we had booked left to the minute and was packed. We realized that it was very lucky that we booked in August. As we got out of London the snow appeared and as we travelled along we went through areas of deep snow and light snow. The route took us up the east coast via York and Newcastle, Edinburgh and into Glasgow. The snow was falling quite heavily, and the streets were mushy. Poor old Dorian's bus was stuck behind an accident and so he didn't get to us until about 6:45 but he made it and we got to his flat and it was great to see him.
We have been exploring a bit and trying to get ready for Christmas dinner. Last night we went to a great concert of Christmas music in down town Glasgow.
We will get a better selection of pictures after Christmas, so until next time, tah rah.
