London to Madrid - first major weather today

Unfortunately the winter weather caught up with us today – Madrid airport was closed by fog for several hours, so we had a lengthy delay at Heathrow and lost our half-day of sightseeing in Madrid. We finally arrived at the hotel after 7pm so quickly checked in then walked up to Gran Via for a look at some of the Inditex shops(gold sequinned bra & knickers at Oysho, anyone??) before a group dinner at La Paella, apparently Madrid’s second-best restaurant (no. 1 was closed because it was a Sunday). The paella was spot on and the sangria went down well too.
