snow storm at stansted airport 😊 back to europe!
For Christmas and New Year we decided that we would take a little detour and spend the festive season with family and friends 😊...so after a few weeks in Turkey we headed backwards towards France! After a few long searches on the internet we found some good cheap flights on easy jet...so we boarded our flight at Istanbul...and as we were in the air above England can see heavy snow and then get told we were now landing in Stansted airport becasue Gatwick had closed because of the snow! So for my 3rd time seeing it snowing was landing in London...and geez was there snow! Snow, combined with the holidays is not a great combination...so after originally thinking we had to kill a couple of hours before getting the bus to Paris we ended up taking the shuttle to the bus station and sitting in the snow logged London traffic! The weather conditions and the holdiays combined with the Eurostar cancellations resulted in what we faced at Victoria bus station...a mad house! The place was packed with people waiting for buses delayed from the snow! When we finally found our bus (about an hour late) it

1 of my first drawing was a bit like the bus driver had the last bottle of wine in the world...and the mad rush to get it! The poor driver was quite a funny guy and said that people had been stuck for over 20 hours in the bus becasue of the snow! anyway we finally got away and ended up in Paris only a couple of hours late but in time for our carpool to Michele's place! We spent a well needed night's sleep at Michele's, organised father xmas's presents and then headed out the next day for Jean's parent's place in Ploermel!
It was super sweet to see Jean's parents again and to come back to Ploermel! We had seen in a picture that it had snowed in Ploermel a few days earlier...but when we arrived the snow had gone...but the weather stilll freeezing cold 😞 For Christmas in France the Christmas dinner is on Christmas eve...so we had a delicously rich dinner, on a beautifully decorated dinner table and a nice cosy atmosphere with the fire in the background! New Years we shared with Jean's mates at a party at Mag and Yo's new amazing house in the country side! And

the table at xmas eve dinner for the rest of the time we got to hang out and be treated to some delicously yummy food and nice company! Just beofre we left Ploermel we had dinner with Jean's parents at Buffalo Grill...for those in france will know it as the steak house with red neon signs (usually next to a McDonalds!). They were building the one in Ploermel when I first visited and I have always nagged as a joke that I wanted to eat there! anyway this time we did...we had some great laughs and took some pics you can check out! anyway this fun night out ended up with Jean getting gastro! and then when we got to Paris...it got me...about 10minutes into watching Avatar 3D (complete with cool funky glasses)...throwing up in an almost full cinema and then again down the road from Dave's place (merci Dave again for your pad again!). After France we headed back to London and was greeted by the lovely smiles and generosity of Oscar (almost in the middle of another snow storm) and were treated to a yummy dinner and company with Fran, Pippo and Victor....thanks guys! and then back on the plane towards Istanbul...to continue our
travels 😊
