Well we finally made it to Prague, we had intended to celebrate Charleigh’s twenty fifth birthday there on December 11th last, but British Airways couldn’t cope with the fog at Heathrow, and got all their planes out of place so we spent most of the day in the duty free lounge and celebrated with an Italian lunch at Strada, before being told of delay upon delay and finally a cancellation, with the ensuing chaos so we finally went home. Disappointment indeed but a re-booking for Epiphany Jan 3-7 meant there were still Christmas markets, and we celebrated with those who do not accept the change in the calendar Julian to Gregorian and the loss of 11 days in 1752 so we enjoyed Christmas Eve folk dancing and returned on Christmas day (old calendar)
