Even though we were well aware of the snow conditions in the UK, it was still a considerable shock climbing off the plane at Luton. It had been really warm in Malta for some time so the sub-zero temperatures took some getting used to. However, during our week, we managed to see family and visit the London Boat Show without getting snowed in or needing snow chains. Our nephews loved it because school was closed but they still had homework to do which was sent to them via the school's internet. How times have changed from when we were young!
