December 29, 2005: Snowed in

Ann, Claire and Jenny were supposed to be going home today but it snowed and the Ryanair flight was diverted to Billund and nobody was about to ferry the passengers from Aarhus to Billund. So… they came back to Ramtenvej after a tortuous journey home avoiding all the hills where snow is likely to accumulate in drifts. Yes, there are hills. Fortunately Ryanair offered a free transfer but they didn’t have room until Saturday so Wiatrose and Southampton library are going to have to do without the services of the younger Burdetts while they while away the hours playing Cluedo and Kalaha here in Denmark.

The snow seems to appear every time Ann visits. You’ll all be thinking that Denmark is permanently swathed in snow from October to April at this rate!
