News from elsewhere

Shuff has written;

"Snowing like the clappers here in Amsterdam.

We moved offices just before xmas – missing the artic weather
by hours.
Am now on the 8’th floor in our new ‘designer’ space –
observing complete
white-out outside and wondering if, at l
east, the handlebars of my bicycle
will still be exposed when
I go to pick it up."


Frank writes from his new place in Bexhill:
"We are with about three inches of snow here but our
central heating is working well
Love to all in Esperaza
Frank and Lizxx"

Peter Tyler writes also but in a different vein:

Vera and I have just about realised that we are in Colombia
after
several hitches on the way; the first being on our arrival
at
Birmingham airport, the second on reaching our first
night´s
hotel and the third on being told that our second hotel
booking
had not been received. Oh such are the joys of
careful planning;
in Colombia it is evidently the norm and they
do say that by
tomorrow today´s problems will be over.
I can´t argue with
that!

Today we relaxed knowing that we are settled for at least four
more nights here in Taganga, a glorious little sandy fishing
village
nestling in a cove of the Caribbean backed by the jungled
foothills
at the end of the Andes massive range."

Doesn't mention the snow there, odd.

The fact I'm doing my post and cutting and pasting other people
letters shows that I'm housebound and at something of a loose
end. Studio is whited out with snow on the skylights.
Bob is threatening to walk to Toulouse and stay in an hotel
until the airport reopens.
