Visit to April & Family

Angela and I flew from Bristol to Norwich on Tuesday last week to see April, Hamish and the grand-daughters – Iona and Trinity. Not a bad flight. Arrived fairly relaxed and sprightly enough to rompse with the grand-daughters.

Had a very good time, although Angela was a bit generally put out.

The return journey on Thursday was a nightmare. The terrorist scare was in full swing. Nobody was prepared for it customs, staff, security – nobody. Total chaos. Had every one by surprise. Check-in tells you one thing – security another . Ended up runing around like a headless chicken. Semi strip search. Full body check. No hand luggage at all. Just documents. Even car keys had to go back to check-in. Those security guys were having a larf. Still even the check-in girls had to go through it.

Not sure that I want a repeat of the flying fiasco again at Christmas.
