Southampton in the snow

It's amazing how much Daniel has grown up since my last visit in October, and he now leaves me in relative peace to build Lego towers.

While I was there, it was very snowy in the south-east, with Kent and Surrey rail services suspended. However, the Crosscountry route up through Oxford and Birmingham was not affected and I had a smooth journey home.



[Edit - here is how Daniel later wrote up the visit in his blog - the grammar suggests he had some help from his mum:]

Grandad in town
It was great to have my Dad come to visit for a few days at the start of February, and to see just how well he is after scaring us at Christmas with an unplanned trip to Edinburgh Royal Infirmary's Coronary Care Unit. Obviously Edinburgh's heart doctors and nurses did a fantastic job. Daniel loved drinking "tea" with his Grandad, and counting satsumas into and out of the bowl, although here he seems to be trying to impersonate one for some reason!
