Welcome Sights

heathrow.jpgIs there any better sight than the sign at the airport that tells you that your flight home is boarding? Well, I would have preferred it if the sign had been for a flight to Southampton rather than for Heathrow, but for some reason the it would have cost an extra six hundred pounds to fly to Southampton – normally it doesn’t cost anything extra. Perhaps more to the point, what I’d really have liked to see was the sign for the seven am. flight to Heathrow, rather than the one pm. flight. Unfortunately, my flight out of Brazzaville was late and I arrived in Paris just after my flight to London had left and this being the Easter weekend, I had to wait around for another five hours before Air France could get me on a flight home. So I didn’t really want to see this sign at all, but it was even more welcome than usual when I finally did see it.

My long trip home was made even worse when I realised that I’d left my laptop charger lead in Paris.

However, the nicest sight of the weekend was Sue walking through Heathrow terminal two to meet me and drive me back to Southampton. Even without my laptop lead, it’s good to be home.
