After having to repack my bags at checkin, went for a bite to eat and goodbyes at the airport, and then got on an almost empty plane. Sat next to a chatty woman heading back to visit family, then we realised that there were no more people coming on board so everyone did a quick shuffle round to get a row of empty seats to themselves.
Flight went by quickly. Watched a couple of movies and had a bit of a kip then we were in London.
Bit of a problem finding the right baggage carousel for the Virgin flight - had been a bit concerned that my bags hadn't arrived... before I realised I was standing in the wrong place - oops.
Picked up the car - after a long hike through various tunnels from terminal 3 to 2, and then a road trip to the parking lot. Gorgeous sunny day. Cold enough to have frost on the cars but a welcome relief after the stuffiness of the plane. Nice drive down the
M4, picked up the keys to my sisters and had a sleep - wish I could sleep on the plane.
Bangers and mash, and G&T for dinner - all very nice.
