Driving home for Christmas

...is a fairly terrible Chris Rhea song, a paean to being stuck in traffic (and yet being OK with it). I have to admit it's a guilty pleasure.

Not driving home, exactly, but to a place in Skye which has always been home. The croft was my grandparents', and my folks are now living there. They've also just extended the croft house, and it'll be lovely to see how it is now. That said, the days of us travelling for Christmas are drawing to a close. One more Christmas once the in-laws are in their new place, and then we'll be at home, I think. Weather's bloody awful. The whole North of Scotland is in danger of being submerged. Reasonable risk our home has gone from 3 storey townhouse with decking on 1st floor to 2 storey house with a jetty.

Joking aside, it's been a miserable time for a lot of people, both homed and homeless. Thoughts are with everyone affected by this weather
