Finally a chance to unwind today but not before getting a flight to Glasgow. Off we headed to Liverpool Street station. No trains, you'll be on a bus today. Okayyyyy. Thank goodness it was Sunday. Much looking at the watch calculating the time and all looked good. Bus was uneventful, small queue to check in at the airport then we head through security.
Well actually we stood in line for over an hour to get through security. I have never seen a queue move that slowly. Thank goodness for a good book! Once we got too the front things went reasonably quickly and we had our bags and were on our way to the boarding gate.
No we weren't.
Shoes off and through the scanner then I could finally go the toilet and get some food for my rumbling tummy. Getting on the plane was bliss as the flight wasn't full.
I can understand now why my in-laws don't like flying any more. The rigmarole to get through security was a farce. The terrorists have won because they have completely changed the way we are expected to travel. Quite frankly it pisses me off.
Lovely to see my in-laws again. It really is hard to believe it's nearly three years since we saw them last. Salmon sandwiches washed down with lovely sparkling wine that was served for Euan's sisters wedding. They had saved a bottle for us to taste and it was lovely. Sweeter than champagne with 7.5% alcohol.
We caught the final hour of the tour and it was so exciting to see Robbie McEwen pick himself up from a crash and cross the line in first place.
Roast beef for dinner then a very early night for me as I was still suffering the after effects of jet lag and trying to cram too much into the short time we had in London.
