Hi girls,

I was absent for a while. Hub and daughter at home and one laptop down can do this.

You surely know that a big ash cloud coming from a Islanda's volcano is keeping all the flyers on their tiptoes.

My daughter had to go back to Bristol last friday, but the uk government closed its airspace. We transferred the flyght reservation to sunday 18, but in the meantime we didn't sleep, we just looked for alternative routes or means of transportation. In the end we got lucky and reserved a ticket on the Paris London eurostar starting sunday evening at 9, 13 pm.

Hub daughter and me drove to Paris starting at 1,45 am and arrived there at 4 pm. Marghe took her train regularly and immediately afterwards we turned our car and drove home, arriving here at 3 pm.

No need to say that in the meantime the new flyght was cancelled.

I am still digesting the tiredness...

Happy to be back with you all
Mimma

Hello Kat !

Last days I often was thinking on you - cause of the cancelled flights all over Europe and how your daughter will return to England......
Glad to here you found a way, but must have been very very strenuous for
all of you !

Now time to R&R !
Helga

PS
I hope the ash cloud will not make problems any longer -and all announced guests (and movies) from Asia will arrive in Udine - well and in time !

Hi Helga,
I wouldn't know, a schoolfrend of Marghe is blocked in Beijing from last week.
The cloud extended to the south till on Palermo's airport, and to the west now it reached Canada.

Unbelieveble. We humans thought we controlled Mother Nature, isn't it? What a presumptous race!!! In the blink of an eye Mother Nature put all us in our place!

Kiss
Kat
