Ventisca!

As I sit in a cosy chair and type about their progress, mum and Jane are driving down out of the Pyrenees mountains towards Madrid, in a snowstorm. Luckily they are a little way behind a snow plough so although it is still pretty scary, really it's more of a photo opportunity than a hazard, but it just goes to show that the difficulties of this journey do not begin and end with the Sahara.
