We left home around 3pm heading for Ralph and Karen’s. We arrived around 4.30ish. A glass of champagne later and we were ready to load the taxi with all our stuff. Kevin was our driver (an ex-copper, who had plenty of tales to tell of his time in the Service!)
We had a good journey to Heathrow, Terminal 4, although the Terminal itself was in a bit of a mess because of re-building.
We boarded our flight on time. British Airways 747, Business Class, ready for our 15-hour flight! Ralph and Karen were upstairs but unfortunately, we couldn’t re-jig our tickets to be near them. We were downstairs. All of us had these new seats that turned into beds together with some very impressive Audio-Visual equipment.
Pity it didn’t work properly!!!! In fact, this was the first of many ‘little things’ that BA just didn’t get right. Off to sleep soon…
I got into blogging quite late in life, not publishing my first post until 2004 – well into my 40s! My lifelong love of technology and communication (in all its forms), together with a fondness for the art of writing seemed to be the perfect combination to contribute a few words to the online community. But I’m no Samuel Pepys! If you’re looking for deep and meaningful comments on a variety of subjects, then you’ve arrived at the wrong site! I only pen for pleasure! On average, my posts appear about twice per month, covering family & friends, cinema visits, eating out, holiday experiences and techy stuff. Oh, and as this is my hobby, there are no sponsored links nor adverts here – it’s all done with love!
I hope you find it enjoyable, interesting and occasionally, even helpful!
