Well I am in the UK! Good flight over with some open seats including the one next to me, which helped with getting some sleep.
The change of the London flight to Heathrow a year or so ago has added to my journey as my sister Mags lives very close to Gatwick, but a more lengthy journey by train and underground coupled with a later departure from Raleigh.
Nick and Diana were kind enough to give me a ride to the airport. Nick bought a small gift from work. A squishy Rhino from the Project Rhino team. You can see me holding him up in the pic at RDU. I did not declare him when I arrived as I think he may be considered an endaggered species!
It is about 34 deg F (2C) and there is still quite a bit of snow on the ground.
Looking forward to a cup of tea (or two) and a chat with Mags to get caught up and maybe a nap this afternoon for a while.
I wrote that part on the train and it is now around 5pm. Took some pics of the snow. More is threatened for tonight.
Off to see my other sister Allie tomorrow in route to Scotland.
