As we arrived in the UK, the snow situation got more serious: it was not 10 cm, but 40 cm we were talking about. The radio was talking of the coldest winter in record since 1889 (or so).
As we arrived from the airport in my father in law's rental car (to fit us all in and drive up to London later this week), we found ourselves stranded one kilometre down the hill from their house, and we had to walk with our moon boots (snow boots) up the hill with our luggages before we could finally and deservedly enjoy the pleasure of a heated home.
Then, we had a nice leek and potatoes soup, as you do !
Everything seemed normal until the following day when we set ourselves up for a walk in the snow. As we embarked on the walk, my mother in law was holding a tea tray - I did not ask questions. But soon enough the connexion was established: the tea tray was to enact as a sledge for Oscar to go down the snowy hill ! I told Paul that was a good idea, but Paul looked at me puzzled - it was not a 'new' idea, it was how 'it is done'.
Okay ...
Here is a mini-movie that Paul took of this peculiar event :
