To fly or not to fly? - that is the question

Heavy snow showers have continued over the past few days, although there have been some intervals of thawing leading to avalanches of snow sliding off roofs.
The airbridge flight due in this afternoon apparently took off from Ascension Island this morning but because of bad weather later turned back. The passengers who have been waiting on Ascension for the past 3 days must have been wondering if they would ever get here!
Anyway the latest news is that it is coming but won't be here until late tonight Our flight which should have left early tomorrow morning will now leave mid-afternoon. (At least that is what they are saying at the moment. You never can be certain). We are catching the bus which goes up to the airport and should be picked up about 11am. At least we don't have to be ready for 5:30am now but it will be very late by the time we get to Ascension.
As our steps were completely buried I decided to clear them this morning to make it a bit easier to get down with our cases and bags. Wherever I exposed a few blades of grass the geese have been busy pulling them out. I guess they have got quite hungry this week.
In fact we have had some nice sunny spells during the day and quite a bit of the snow has melted, although there is still plenty.
