-12...Really?

We went to London last night to see the new musical Ghost. It was cold when we set off but not too bad. Ghost was very good (I was not sure what to expect but the movie was one of my all time favourites). So, show over we catch a cab bak to St. Pancras. One hour on the train andwe are back in Northamptonshire. The doors open, the air hits us and my first thought is "OMG, the train must have detoured to Siberia! My lungs felt like I was inhaling razor blades. We hurried to the car and when the dash lights came on the temperature read (you guessed it), -12 Celsius!! Talked about a shock to the system. We went to bed with a extra blanket and woke up to -8. Getting out of bed was beyond difficult. We ventured out of the house when the temp climbed to a balmy -3! So, we decided the only thing to do is keep the fire stoked, break out the Baily's and watch England beat Italy in the 6 Nations.
