Happy snowy Christmas 2010 from London Heathrow.

Yes it’s 18th December 2010 and I am not in the Himalayas or Russia. This is right here in London where it has snowed cats and dogs such that flights including mine to Dubai have been cancelled. Was supposed to meet my family tomorrow, but it’s all history now. You see London Heathrow Airport is closed due to the heavy snow that has fallen.

I took it as fun at first, only to reliase all the flights have been canceled.
Well today no issues of Malawi and blind children (tired coz this is all what I have been writing up during the last few weeks).

Have you experience snow?
Denis has taken a few god photos, and being a permanent UK resident he seems to know how to dress for the snow.
For the time being I wait for the flights to resume.

Have a snowy Christmas if you are in Europe.

Can’t wait to get to Malawi where its very warm!

Snow Snow Snow in London

The weather in UK and the feelings I am experiencing while here reminds me of the president of Zimbabwe. Robert Mugabe the life president of Zimbabwe at one point when he was being banned from passing through UK (as part of the sanctions) by the then Prime Minister Tony Blair said this to counteract the ban: Well which African would want to stay in the UK as cold as it is. For once I agree with him .I have been asking myself what I am doing in London being subjected to a whole week of snow? Is this what global warming is all about?

Wish I was in Malawi, where its currently the rainy warm season.

But I have to finish the write up (about blind children and my work in Malawi) even though it’s taking much longer than I anticipated.

Look at the window and the cars .it’s all frozen

Cant wait to get back to Malawi.

Snow! Snow! Snow!

Fate of a Malawian in Snowing Glasgow, Scotland

I have just been in Glasgow Scotland for a few days now but the weather has been horrible making it impossible for me to have a good time and take nice photos .As a freelance medical journalist I like recording and reporting about where I am in this part of the world. This February 2008 I have moved from India to Scotland on my way to Blantyre Malawi .In Scotland I am visiting the York hill Childrens Hospital in Glasgow and I am staying at Campanile Hotel. The hospital is very nice and staff are very friendly. Tonight I have been invited for dinner. Most of the staff at York hill have also visited our hospital in Blantyre.
I have not had much time to see the town; partly because it’s been extremely cold (temperatures below -4 degrees) and snowing making it impossible to travel; especially for a local Malawian who is used to the warm heart of Malawi weather. I still have a few more days in Glasgow so hopefully I should manage to take nice photos. And I will write more of the experiences then.
