At 4am yesterday, I was at just waking up at home, and 12 hours later, I was at Heathrow airport in London. 4 hours after that, we were having very late evening snack in a building that dates from 1256 when it was built by monks as the Breadsall Priory.
It's snowing today. Very Dickensian. We drove through some of it last night during the 2+ hr trek up here to Derbyshire from London. We experimented with a daytime flight this time. Usually, one flies overnight to get to England. The advantage is that you don't lose a day travelling, but the major disadvantage is that, when you land, it's 2am your time, so you're tackling rush-hour traffic in London with severe jetlag. The nice thing about the drive last night was that we started out at 11pm local time. There was still some traffic, but nothing like rush-hour.
This morning, we will explore our beautiful country house hotel briefly before spending the day visiting with P's Aunt & Uncle and their cats.
p.s. you're thinking "where's the snow in the picture". It came and went a bit but it did collect on the ground eventually.
