We made it to England

We made it, just in time. If any of you have seen the news for England. It's snowing here, today the airport had the two runways closed and one plane slid off the runway! It hasn't snowed like this in 18 yrs, thanks to Russia for the weather. We landed at Heathrow yesterday morning, met up with my Aunt Jackie who delivered us our car. It is bitter cold here, I didn't want to leave the warmth of the airport but at least our car was warm. The roads were clear for our trek south to Granny in Weymouth's house, it was about a 2 hour drive. We made a pit stop at Stonehenge, Cash was asleep and it was freezing outside so we will probably stop on our next trip. I guess you can't get close to it anymore, it's not quite the same experience as I remember long ago. We are pretty far south so it's sunny now but close to freezing temps still. My dad wants to swim at the beach and Cash wants to build sand castles so I'm hoping it warms up a little. I haven't taken any pictures yet and I forgot my cord so we'll see if I can get any downloaded. Last night Cash wanted to go home. I tried to explain how far we were and the things we could do here which didn't seem to help. He spent a few hours awake watching movies and eating goldfish crackers. He then fell asleep and I had to wake him up at 11am local time. We are trying to adjust to the time change of 7 hrs ahead. My dad who seem to adjust fine, who also has no problem driving on the other side of the road. Me sitting on the left with no steering wheel is freaking out about the small lanes and windy roads. Uncle Roy and Uncle Jonathon (so far we've seen 3 of my dad's 14 siblings came by last night as I tried to keep myself awake.Well I had better go, Cash is hungry and is demanding food. I'll post later.D
