On the train to Paris.

Amazingly, the dash to Paris worked. In spite of a crash in the taxi from the ferry port to the station, a lack of ticket before we boarded the train as there wasn't time to get one, and a hair-raising ride in a taxi through a very snowy Paris with a driver who didn't seem to care if there were other cars in his way on the road!

The plane was delayed by about four hours, but it did take off eventually - once they'd found some fuel, and enough de-icer, and enough cabin crew. The view out of the tail camera as the plane was taking off was interesting - there was only a narrow strip of the runway that was snow-less, but we made it anyway. Thank goodness. Our holiday could begin, almost on time!
