ON THURSDAY evening, February 5 our coach party were returning from Plymouth, having been to see Riverdance, when we became stranded at Launceston due to heavy snow.

I would like the opportunity to say a huge thank you to all the people who assisted us that evening; the two kind ladies who opened their warm homes and provided us with tea; the town hall caretaker who stayed all night making more tea; all the excellent emergency services who ensured our safety and comfort and of course our coach driver who brought us safely home.

Many, many thanks to you all for your kindness and consideration.
