Thanks for your concern. The main problem is that the planes can’t fly so everyone is grounded. So you can imagine the problems that causes for some people and with the knock on effect for freight and food supplies. No one really knows how long it will go on for, it could be just a matter of days, but it could be weeks, months or years.

On the up side, we have had lovely weather with no aeroplane noise, no vapour trails in the sky.

Mother Nature will always be stronger than man and I take some comfort from that.
