Yes it was very nice, @jonsie, although I'm snowed in in Kansas City at the moment.
FYI, Thanksgiving Day is always a Thursday, and hence 'Black Friday', which the UK has strangely adopted, but I understand the commercial reasons why.:smileywink:
Sending Thanksgiving greetings to @Glory1 who's the only other American I'm aware of in the community.

Thank you @Bambino and a belated Happy Thanksgiving Day to you.
Clearly I've been living here too long as I forgot all about Thanksgiving too, which is awful of me.
Sorry to hear you're snowed in, in Kansas City @Bambino. Have I really been gone too long or is the snow a bit early this year? It's not even the end of November!

Thank you and no, thank God, there's no snow in London @Anonymous. We rarely get snow and when it does snow heavily, a very rare occurrence, everything stops. I find it extremely amusing, in spite of 49 years in this city. In New York, where it snows heavily at least twice and sometimes 3 times in a winter, nothing stops. And everyone goes to work, busss run, the subway runs, trains run and no one, or hardly anyone mentions the weather. But then in fairness to Londoners, they're just not used to heavy snow, or any snow for that matter.
In fact, the worse snow I can remember in London was December 1980, the year I did my first Christmas and New Year cruise. I couldn't have chosen a better time to be away. It was one of the worst winters in London I can remember.
