SNOW HERE shall i bring it home?, if i can get home.

It`s mid morning over here with a lot of snow having fallen overnight with more forecast. As i am due to leave here Tuesday i`ve been checking flight departures at the 2 Airports i`ll be using well the 2 main ones, Seattle(SEA) and Minneapolis(MPS). Even the small Airport here in Pullman that i will use to make the 50minute flight to Seattle is running as usual with just a few early morning delays of up to 30 mins for the snow plough to clear the runway for each departure.

So no Heathrow dramas here and it looks like my flights will be more or less on time for my Wednesday departure and Thursday arrival at H`row. Just keeping my fingers crossed the snow fall forecast tonight is not exceptional otherwise i might have to stay here longer......think i can hear Jaq praying for more snow.

We have booked Jaq`s flights for her 2 week stay in May and have also managed to wade our way through the UK Border Agency website for the necessary visa`s etc that she will need to enter the UK and settle later in the year. Our UK government wants  £750 to process this application plus other fees for a right to remain as my wife stamp in her passport. Expensive business this love affair maybe i should........Oooops Jaq is going to read this........just say what`s a few English pounds when you`re in love.

Personally i think they should pay my Alaskan born, 5` 1'', highly educated (BA), incredible cook(my waistline needs a few locks to get back in shape), lovely personality etc. to enter the UK but that`s my  prejudiced view.

The bin man (yes singular) was just 30 mins late. The one man operator pulls alongside the bin and operates a grab that lifts and empties the bin and places it back in position outside Jaq`s home.

                          Yes Jaq just sit there looking pretty while we talk about you.

                       Just a few inches of snow, studded tyres will get us out and about.

        The small snowplough clears the way from Jaq`s cul de sac home to the main road.

So as you can see life, apart from our being defeated by an inch of snow in the UK, is much the same here. It`s been a great visit and leaving here is going to be hard tomorrow leaving Jaq behind but she will be over on the 23rd May to sample the English canals.
Just checked the airports again and delay times have slightly gone up but flights are still arriving and departing. Oh well what will be will be, at least i don`t have to be back at work on my return.
