Crossing Back

We flew out of Gatwick airport in the southern - ish part of Greater London. LGW is a relief airport for the London area that now needs relief.
Secondary , here , is a relative term. The LGW is big , itself. Well organized as in security check area and shopping. The duty free area is 500 yds of corridor lined w/ shops alcohol , cigarettes , clothes , candy etc. Brand names are everywhere. ' SuperDry ' seems to be big in the UK , Victoria Secrets , Chanel etc too.

Our hosts got us there in plenty of time , time to chat and have a coffee at Cafe Nero.
We passed security in 45 seconds , start to belt on. So , quick.
The airport board posts gate locations right before your flight. We saw the gate flash up and walked to the area. We sat. I noticed people lining up and asked an attendant if these people were boarding our flight ' YES ' . Went and grabbed M and got checked through.
The airlines fed us well. Time for 3 movies - sort of - I barely heard 2 and read closed captioning on the other. Hate earphones.
The upshot , we got home
gratefully home
Wanderlust , was a magazine title in the Bath apartment
No , I don't have wanderlust. A twinge of envy , occasionally , but give me home

HOME

Recollections. Comfortable trip . Not bad for being away , and out of country. It was England after all.

Regrets. I didn't go to the bookies and place a bet. Oh , I would have lost , anyway.

Its 5:30 A and I couldn't sleep , recall its 10:30 A London time
Back to bed and another try
