Thank you everyone, here and PMs, for your kind words. We're just back from a few days away. Had a great day on Monday, as you might expect, then were so well looked after at the Oxo Tower in Southwark, London. Great view of the river and impeccable service too.

Went up to Edinburgh on good old Scot Airways (that should provoke some comments) and as we are both into cities enjoyed our time there, especially as Mrs WHBM hadn't been there before. Nice hotel except that on day 2 a water pipe burst in our bathroom and, as they were full, we got moved to a glorious suite at another group-owned property which we much enjoyed.

You won't believe this but it snowed on us every single day through all this, whether we were in London or Edinburgh !
