Gosh; that reminds me that I was in London on the night of that hurricane, as our flight from Leeds/ Bradford didn't make our flight back to Toronto after a memorable holiday all over (almost all over) England.

Can’t see myself on the photo but then again I am tiny lol. Remember this trip well. Especially as we was allowed a small bottle of wine with our meals and I was sick off the red wine.
I remember visiting the quantro factory, good memories, remember we had to gather together and plates smashing etc but wasn’t scared. Luckily we were all ok.
