So with just 10 days before we are due to fly south, BA cabin crew vote to strike for 12 days over xmas - dashing our hope of any sunshine over the festive season. Despite being the highest paid of all cabin crew on all the British airlines, and despite the fact that they WILL be getting a salary increase in 2010 (I haven't had one for 2 years), they decide to ruin xmas for over 1 million people and their families.
BA had to force court ruling to get the bastards back to work. So, the good news is we ARE flying... but only if it stops snowing. Last Friday and again yesterday the whole of south east England came to a grinding halt after snow storms.
Last night it took me 3 hours at 10 miles an hour to commute home through a blizzard on icy roads.. I passed 5 car accidents along the way, one car turned on it's roof on the motorway.
This was the scene outside our apartment this morning.
At least we can look at the stars at night. On Sunday evening, braving the freezing temperatures, William and I stood on our balcony and were able to see Jupiter and 5 of it's moons through this baby.
