Yesterday was one of those overcast days that just never burns off, I thought it was just slightly foggy, although it wasn't humid at all. We never did get any blue sky peeking through but I didn't thought it to be a misty day typical of English Winter to Spring weather.
When we got back to the hotel and turned on the TV the big news was the KILLER smog!

They rated it a 10 on a 10 scale with an unusual weather pattern contributing by blowing sand from the Sahara desert all the way up through France and over England as well. Along with coal fired power plants still operating, an increasing popularity of diesel powered cars and trucks, had resulted in the worst smog day in several decades. This pattern is set to be with us for several days at least, and they are advising people with breathing problems to stay indoors. Evie has had a cough since we got here but not many other symptoms of a cold and I got a scratchy throat today; now I know why!
