As flights go, this was a good one, everything was on time, and it wasn’t full.
The person in the window seat in my row was sitting behind his wife, who had a complete empty row, maybe she had enough of him.
The cabin crew on American tend to be a little more mature, but they were friendly and attentive.
Once we reached Heathrow the fun started. The passport control was buzzing with activity.
The processing is mostly done with scanners and facial recognition these days, which in this case confused a bunch of old dears that couldn’t get the hang of the passport scanner. They kept pushing it in and out with no idea what to do.
My small case made it through, was one of the first off, so that made me happy. I made my exit looking for a place to have breakfast, and I couldn’t find one. I’m sure there was a place, but not any more.
So disgruntled, I made my was to the bus station hoping there was something there, and there was, but cash only.
So I didn’t get any refreshments as I waited for the coach to arrive.
I read my book for an hour then the coach was announced.
I did try to sleep on the coach, but I kept nearly falling off the seat.
Eventually I got to Bath Bus Station and Nicola was waiting.
Arriving back at the cottage was great to see. Nicola had already left some food for me, they are so thoughtful and kind, so that first cup of coffee was like nectar.
I relaxed for the evening speaking to Kelli many times as I planned my jobs, that start tomorrow.
