I’ve just seen on the news that there is a new volcanic ash cloud that’s probably going to reach the UK on Tuesday. I can’t believe that there is going to be the same disruption to airspace that there was last year, but it’s still likely to make a difference to anyone who wants to travel this year.

Luckily I don’t have any flights booked until September so I don’t think there should be a problem. I feel sorry for anyone who’s got flights booked in the near future though – there’s every chance they’ll still be able to fly but the anxious wait must be very difficult to take. Hopefully the cloud will pass soon without much disruption to the airlines flying in and out of the UK.

From what I understand the scale of this eruption is nowhere near the size of last year which was exceptionally big, so I doubt there will be the same level of disruption which is good. The size of the particles this time is larger meaning that they fall quicker.

One interesting thing is that there is a Champions League final in London on Saturday between Barcelona and Manchester United. United would have a major advantage if none of Barcelona’s fans could make it to the ground! It’s obviously wishful thinking, but it could happen! It would be a shame if the stadium wasn’t full though for such a big game, although I’m sure it won’t come to that.
