I do. Are you going to Edge Hill? Snow isn’t too bad but I believe the roads are very slippery. I’m not sure if you use the M58 but I have just seen that it’s closed at the Bickerstaff junction (for Ormskirk) as a car has slid off the motorway into the field. I would maybe leave it until this afternoon if you can as it might have melted a bit. Hope you have a safe journey x
Edited to add: have a look at Merseyside Roads Policing Unit on Twitter, the pics are awful. They are recommending not to travel as the roads are treacherous. Edited at 11:05 AM. |

Yes, he goes to Edge Hill and has a studio flat in Ormskirk
We would be travelling via the M58 so thanks for that. I brought up the live pictures of the M6 and thought it didn’t look to bad so it’s really good to get local perspective - thank you 😊 DH is having a look at that Twitter page now. Ry’s not even up yet lol so wouldn’t be heading off til around 1pm so will re-evaluate then. Xx |

Thanks DD, she is really looking forward to it.
She's at Liverpool. I wouldn't worry too much about being stopped as you are taking him back to Uni and I think travel for education reasons is fine. I would just have his student id in the car with you in case. Travel safe! |

Well after a stressful 36h DS is back in HK and on his way to the quarantine hotel for 3 weeks!
He had to get a negative test results plus a load of other papers in order to travel plus we couldn’t get him out from our local airport after his initial flights were cancelled so he had to do a 4h train journey to Lyon. The flight to HK has about 20 passengers and he was alone in the back section of the plane. Only one choice of meal (pasta) and he slept for 9h 👍🏻 On arrival his SIM card wouldn’t connect so the immigration services rang me to ask if I would agree to receiving texts on his behalf 😳 Panicked me a bit to get a call from an unknown HK number. He then had to have a second test (negative thankfully) and was cleared to take the shuttle to his hotel. He can’t leave his room for 3 weeks - term starts a week on Monday so that will keep him occupied. Hopefully once the three weeks is up he will have a relatively free life 🤞🏻 All the classes are online for the moment but he is on campus so will have the student life with his friends so that is a real plus. Hope all the students are managing in these difficult times xx Edited at 03:05 PM. |

Such an incredibly long day for your DS, although he was lucky to have lots of space on the plane so he could sleep
3 weeks quarantine seems a long time but at least he can see his friends again. I’m sure you will be missing him though, it must be hard with him so far away 😢 but it’s good that he’s enjoying it so much. It’s amazing how he’s coped so well throughout everything. It’s not easy for any of the students but your son has to deal with many obstacles that the average student hasn’t had to and he’s done it so well |
