Travel theme: Frozen

Hold fast to dreams

for when dreams go

life is a barren field

frozen with snow.

(Langston Hughes)

Frozen to the spot in England.

This week’s travel theme is Frozen.

I was staying in London during the winter of 1986/87 and I was simply astounded at how ineffective this ancient but modern metropolis became – transport halted, water froze in the pipes, children couldn’t go to school and the temperatures fell to -15 degrees celcius.

And I was backpacking with insufficient clothes and footwear.

I was quite, quite frozen!
