Snow place like home

Well Dorothy was right, there is no place like home! It's lovely to be back.
Apart from a bit of turbulence over the Atlantic, it's been a very uneventful, nay, tedious, journey. Just how I like them!

Left RDU last night at 8:35pm US time (1:35am UK time) and the flight was about 7 hours 30 minutes so we landed just before 9am UK time. I did manage to get about 4 hours kip (in hour-long bursts) during the night. I think that one of the worst things about coming back this way isn't so much the time change, but it's the shortened night....losing the 5 hours as you come over, that really does you in.

Anyway, as we were in our final half hour or so, we came in over Portsmouth and the Isle of Wight. It was very clear (see the pics), and then a minute or 2 later we were over snow. Better still were the pics I took as we flew from LHR to Leeds....there are some of recognisable landmarks made really clear with the contrast of the snow; Kirkstall Abbey, Armley Gyratory and of course the White Rose Centre!
