Away We Go!

So, I am sitting in a hotel room with Jay, somewhere near Dublin airport!

Yes. I was afraid to even mention it in case we didn't get away in the end, and I know we're not there yet, but... we are in a hotel room! And it's so very quiet without all those little clamoring voices. But I think I might get used to it. For a day or two before I really start to miss them.

Hopefully our flight will leave on time early tomorrow morning, but I am prepared for some hanging around. We are off to Madrid until Monday to visit some very dear friends, and I promise some posts to come of our trip.

It was quite an adventure even getting this far, as we decided not to try and drive through the Big Freeze, but bussed it instead.

It was arctic... I felt like I was in outer Siberia, (Jay has been there and said, yes, it reminded him of it!).

So, as I was so disorganised about getting this post done before I left home I had no photos to share with you of the Winter Wonderland we still find ourselves in, so these are from last year. Bit of a cheat, I know, but if anything it's even more snowy and icy this year.

I do love how everyone's blogs and facebook are just awash with Snow Posts. It's wonderful to see. And although it's wearing a bit thin for some, the fact that school did not reopen today as planned means that certain little somebody's are over the moon and making the most of it!

So fingers crossed we fly tomorrow!
