... ok, who has the direct line to the snow-machine?! 
Somebody please tell me ...
WHY is it, the minute I get my laundry done, get packed again and jump in the truck to drop Merlin off for his holidays does it do this???!!!!!
Another journey starts with me wondering if there will be a a happy ending in the sunshine, or if I will be digging myself out of snow drifts watching the plane disappear into the distance!
