Our Church Leader, who has been on holiday to Australia for three weeks with his family, is stuck on Hong Kong, and unable to fly back to the UK until the 5th May!
A volcano underneath a glacier in Iceland has erupted and sent ash up into the sky about 5 miles above the earth! This has then been blown all over northern Europe meaning all planes are grounded and flights have been cancelled all over.
This has affected millions of people! Britons are stuck all over the world and numerous holidays have been cancelled this weekend. My heart goes out to all the newlyweds unable to go on their long awaited honeymoons.
My parents were due to fly back from Ireland yesterday, but they've managed to get foot ferry passenger tickets on a ferry to Scotland this afternoon and will then hire a car to drive home from there.
Amy's friend who's got married in Mexico was unable to fly home on Friday and has been holed up in a 5 star hotel in Cancun! She's now flying to Spain today and will be put up in a hotel there until they can get back to the UK, either ferry or chunnel.
I'm just hoping and praying that we can still get to Mexico. If not, plan B is to drive to Cornwall and find a caravan or cottage for a week.
We'll still be married, we've asked Matt to step in as we want someone from our Church who knows us to do the deed, rather than Uncle John, or even my Dad!! (Although I'm sure he'd like the job!!, I'd find it weird!!)
Who knew volcanic ash could cause such travel chaos?!
