20: Off the air

Day 20, or C minus five.
Dash away, dash away, dash it all. 
Depending on the whims of ye merry Gatwick gentlemen, Santa may have to travel overland instead of by air. If you listen very carefully like David Attenborough, you may hear a grumbled 'typical, innit' carried on the winds from Lapland.

Britain's children may not receive their presents until March, as Santa will be stuck in the M25 roadworks until at least Valentine's Day. Chin up, the Royal Mail has prepared us for this day.
Current conditions at Heathrow.

    I think that the sledge your Little One is on would be a great method for snow removal at Gatwick. Get all the crew to sit on one w/ a rope & have one of the planes tow them around to plow the runways! Send it to them! ;)

    Thanks for linking on the Blog Hop! :D If you want to grab the code from the BMB Blog post and pop it at the bottom of your post then others can hop around as well. Just grab the code for Blogger.

    Happy Holidays!

    Thanks Karin--always love the blog hops. I think you should be the new head of runway maintenance at Heathrow--that's better than any idea they've had yet...and you can borrow our sled for the job if you like :)

    Thanks GWM, lovely to see you here! I'm terrible at those linky things (got it working today for blogger--first time for everything), but Karin at Cafe Bebe is a whiz at this (and most everything else) and can probably help you with wordpress...

    Difficult to hop as most people above have not put the hop script on their posts and even if they had, most have linked to their blog homepage rather than a post... with the script on.

    I added myself at This Mid 30s Life (when I did not know what I was doing) at no.23. I didn't realise this here was the same list but have now (sorry) added myself again (this time correctly) at no.28.
