Well, just when it looked like an aeroplane free month was looming after the deferment of some duty travels in unsettled parts of Africa I find myself en route to the UK. An early morning start from Vienna on the first BA flight of the day on a very cold and misty morning. The flight left a little bit late due to ATC constraints but we arrived more or less on time at a slightly warmer and less misty London. A bit of a wait for the Hertz bus and then off to collect the car and set out for the Arundel area to catch up with my sister and her husband and my father. The usual round of chat and crosswords before lunch and the watching of birds on the feeding table next to Daddy's window.
After lunch it was off for a spot of shopping before checking in to the hotel. Some leisure time and a steak dinner then bed.
Saturday was a rather misty start but the day went well with a good hotel breakfast and then the drive back to see Daddy again then lunch with sister Ali and husband Tim and Clare arrived. Then after lunch it was off to the cinema in Chichester.The movie as "The King's Speech" and it was wonderful. Then dinnner back at the hotel.
Sunday was another breakfast and a session with Daddy again before we all had to set off for our various destinations. For me it was the drive ti Heathrow an then the BA flight back to Vienna at the end of the day.
