The Eagle Has Landed!

Hi All,

Okay - after much staring into space and slack-jawed drooling, I am back in Blighty after finally leaving Madrid (note mini bottle of champagne by way of celebration - and more satisfyingly, a nice cup of British Airways tea!). With my tan intact (!) and my mood improved, I shall be browsing blogs over the next few days and getting back in touch 'little and often'.

Outside, it's snowing very heavily, so I'm not sure what's going to happen next week - keep checking the UCA website for updates, and I'll post any relevant info here.

Oh yes - see bird's eye view of 'severe weather event' - it all looked rather beautiful from the plane! (less so from the M25).

    Yes, but deep down you secretly dream of being the goalkeeper for 1958 World Cup winning Brazilian soccer team...

    Good job you didn't have to take the Eurostar in or else you'd be in a dark French tunnel!

    The snow is not easing off , meaning England will probably be up and running again about June, but fingers crossed for Uni being open in a couple of days.

    We're living on an icicle floating next to Europe:

    I sleep better in a cold room also, but I can't work in a cold room, especially when I can see my own breath it's that cold ^^ I ended up dashing out to buy myself a small electric heater for my room haha.
