Fogged over

The fog is bad. In my time in London, I can't remember a fog like this. It's blanketing almost the whole country, but particularly the South East. It's a real pea-souper.

Heathrow has come to a standstill. (And for once it's not over labour dispute/terror). All domestic flights have been cancelled. Many flights to Europe have been delayed or cancelled. Long haul flights to the US or Australia are supposed to be running, but folks trying to get home for the holidays are spending a lovely festive time at Heathrow airport. They've decked the halls with emergency blankets.

I'm so, so glad we're not going anywhere this year.

We did go for a walk today, at the Vol-in-Law's special birthday request. It was foggy over Richmond Deer Park, too.
