Jetlag takes about a week to settle I'm told, and I'm sure there's son Celtic wisdom to get over your post viral fatigue How's WH coping with his obcessive routines while travelling? A challenge I would think 😕 Hope this is a time yo rekindle some first love maybe. Any good churches to visit there? Did you go this morning? Love ancient architecture and history. Churches are great for it. Hugz xox

@Faith-and-Hope, just saw this on news, hope you're OK:
HARSH WINTER IN EUROPE (NEWS ONLINE) Europe's harsh winter blamed for more than a dozen deaths in three countries SUN JAN 08, 2017_abcnewsonline
Key points: Officials report at least 17 weather-related deaths in three countries Poland experiencing temperatures below - 20 degrees Celsius Turkey, Greece, Belgium also hit by the cold snap
Heavy snowfall and below-freezing temperatures have swept across the Europe causing more than a dozen deaths, as well as grounding flights and crippling ferries in Italy and Turkey. The cold conditions in Poland has killed at least 10 people in the past few days, according to officials who said temperatures in some areas had dropped below -20 degrees Celsius on Saturday.In Belgium, one man died when his truck slid off a highway. Sub-freezing temperatures in Italy were blamed on the deaths of a half-dozen homeless people, while heavy snow and high winds resulted in re-routed flights, delayed ferries, cancelled trains and closed roads, media reported. With no indications of a let up, some schools were ordered to stay closed on Monday in southern Italy, because of snow up to 1 metre high, the ANSA news agency reported. The chill did not spare sunny Rome either with the fountains in St Peter's Square freezing over. Temperatures dropped to -7 degrees in Greece's second largest city of Thessaloniki, and -10 degrees was expected on Sunday, according to the Norwegian Meteorological Institute. Several Greek islands, otherwise known for their sunny and warm weather, were blanketed in snow with freezing temperatures. Heavy snow covered the Moria refugee and migrant camp on the Greek island of Lesbos. One of the camp's residents captured footage, which was passed to an aid worker, showing the snow-covered tents that continue to provide shelter for some of the migrants stranded in Moria. The man told the aid worker his tent had been destroyed and that he had never been that cold in his life. Heavy snow covered the Moria refugee and migrant camp on the Greek island of Lesbos.

Heavy snow crippled Istanbul and national carrier Turkish Airlines cancelled more than 650 flights. The state-run Anadolu news agency reported that even the Bosphorus Strait running through Turkey's largest city was closed with ferries being halted. Britain has missed out on the cold and snow, sporting its usual grey cloudy skies and temperatures of 10 degrees Celsius. ______ brrrr!

Re: Far and Away
Reckon I could write several books @Former-Member .... lol ....
Hi @Former-Member ....
Yeah we're okay here. WH is a bit ocncerned about our road trip tomorrow cos it's snowing in those areas and we might need to put chains on the tyres, which we have never done before, but I'm sure it will be okay ... it's a main road, and they sprinkle salt to stop ice build-up and a snow-clean-up vehicle comes through periodically.
We haven't met with intense bad weather here like that report is suggesting. Thanks for your concern tho ..... 💕
