Spotting on the Sandbach to Chester Railroad by wyleu

A cold slightly damp morning with little to recommend it. Since we have a French exchange student with us at the moment the traditional wyleu family indifference to matters international has been rather undercut by a concern as quite how Chloe is to get home. 

She's booked to fly out of Liverpool on Tuesday evening but this is looking pretty unlikely as the European airline industry gets an opportunity to polish it's planes on various tarmacs around the country.

The school, as ever, has leapt into action. Well we assume they have because not a word has been received so far as to any contingency. Given that there is no information forthcoming, as to when the problem will resolve, parents are doing the most obvious thing. Carrying on until we know more.

It seem ok in out household but for some of the more homesick exchanges this is a cause of major concern, and since we have a web camera and microphone, and far more importantly, we've actually had it set up and working, we've had little groups of frantically talking french girls gathering in our kitchen to state identical doubts and uncertainties but in high speed French. It's all gathering together people wonderfully, but even though the air of concern is high certain things have been maintained. Frankly your nobody until you've been properly ignored by a French fourteen year old...

All good practise for two years time when my eldest reaches this most critical of ages.
