Sorry no photos but it was dark (and 31C) when we got up at 4 a.m. today ready for our limo pick up. Marvellous to learn on line that England had beaten the Aussies in the 20-20 final. The drive to the airport only took 30 minutes so we were in very good time for the flight. Check in was very fast and efficient and we were soon in the Emirates lounge enjoying breakfast and resisting the temptations provided by the free bar. The news was somewhat worrying as there were reports of UK airspace being affected by the return of the volcanic ash cloud but our flight was called on schedule and we were soon being bussed out to the far end of the airport to board our plane.
We werre soon comfortably seated and Dave enjoyed his welcoming glass of Bollinger. Rosena thought that it was too early. The flight was uneventful apart from a three glass lunch. All too soon we were on the ground in Glasgow but a nice man in a Mercedes helped us escape to the bosom of our wonderful family who awaited our arrival with a home cooked supper and cries of "Where are our pressies?". It was great to travel to the bit of the world that we did but it was also great to be back home in time for Linlithgow Rose's appearance in the Junior Cup Final.
