I've just peeped out of the study window to see grey clouds; yesterday's mists do seem to have cleared. I'm also pleased to note that Ms M's flight has landed safely in New York. After massive delays at a fog-bound Heathrow, (think lunchtime flight) they eventually took off at 8.20 pm according to the site, and that was only because they'd been recheduled to land at Newark, not JFK. Not the best way to spend the first day of your holiday; poor Ms M. Eight hours all to yourself sans interruptions is one thing, she'd been really looking forward to that; however, this must have been beyond her wildest dreams.
The mists took us all by surprise yesterday. I was in a shop buying boots at the time. The assistants there did wonder for a minute if it was actually smoke they were seeing! Maybe it was all a screen, to disguise the presence in town of the numerous reporters,who, according to Ms M yesterday, are swarming round the place on account of a certain engagement having been announced in the area! Can't say I noticed anybody myself, then again, maybe we're not posh enough to have them venturing into our part of town!
