Hi Baby! Hello Snow!
Shingie is waiting for me and I am overjoyed to see her. We take the train to the City Centre. As we come out of the station it starts snowing. My first snow ever! I am thrilled. Snow virgin no more.

Lost Luggage
Aeroplane De-icing at Amsterdam Airport
Amsterdam the next morning was cold. The ground was an endless white that promised to totally frost-bitefy me when I stepped out. Thank goodness it didn’t get a chance to keep that promise. The warmth of the airport terminal kept me away from its icy tentacles.

Remembering Brixton
The first thing that struck me about London was that not only do the fabled red double-decker buses exist, they do so in an unnerving abundance. There is one round every corner it seems.
