Made it, just!

Busy morning.
Down the beach just after 5am with Barney then off to the airport sharpish for an early flight to Dublin.
All pretty uneventful until I closed the Land Rover door in the terminal car park.
The piece (striker) that the door lock catches onto on the frame fell to the ground in bits!
Turns out the 2 bolts holding the striker to the frame had sheared (no idea how!) and were now useless meaning the door wouldn't stay closed!
Nightmare!
Fortunately being a Land Rover owner means always carrying basic tools and also learning how to improvise.
So, 10 minutes later the passenger door lock was canabalised and relieved of one of its bolts and both doors were closing and locking.

I used to travel to Dublin quite regularly so as usual turned left after security and headed for gate 1.
Happily sitting there drinking my coffee, wondering where everyone was and feeling rather pleased with myself I noticed the Dublin flights now leave from the opposite end of the airport in the new bit (pictured above) so another mad dash to the correct gate.
Made it in the end :-)
