The advantages..

of having a Monarch Gold Card, apart from not having to pay for my seat on the plane, I  can also use it to get the family through the priority check in,  arrived at the airport at 5.35, checked in by 5.45, Sarah was a happy bunny, not having to queue.

The house is very quiet, I will have to wait until November until I see them again.

Now off out for a meal (again), just Roy and I tonight.
