After some assorted troubles, students overloaded with luggage, very problematic snow in London, all has actually gone well, My rental flat is cute and nice, the landlady is great, no real problems. I ventured out into the snow and did a bit of grocery shopping--realizing i forgot how to shop for one.
Going to catch up with some needed sleep now.
More tomorrow...

Seattle also grinds to a halt when there is snow, but think how hilly the landscape is, and how unused to snow the denizens are.
Did you get to go to any Charing Cross bookstores? Or any Blue Plaque history sites?
What borough are you staying in?
Fun fact to share with your students: An international survey of 12,000 paintings between 1450 and 1960 didn't find one British picture showing a clear blue sky.

Looking forward to following your journey.
