Not Porty People and Places

England expects ....

The English Coast beneath the wing of an Egypt Air Airbus 330 on Trafalgar Day 2014. (It was at the Battle of the Nile at Alexandria that Nelson lost his eye.)

The clouds are scudding on the hurricane force wind.

The white horses are whipped into a frenzy below the white cliffs by the devastating post hurricane Gonzalo winds. The passengers applauded loudly and spontaneously when our plane waltzed safely onto Runway 10 R at LHR bang on schedule.

BA having failed to link their text messaging to their manage my booking site meant I arrived with no onward connection due to the storm enforced reduction in domestic flights. After two hours of successive apologies from minions within the BA machine I eventually got the last wait list seat on the 1635 flight home.

My day had begun with the sun rising over the eastern desert of New Cairo and ended with a blustery sunset over the Firth of Forth.

It was great to be home again. . Happy birthday to E today and F to morrow!

Trafalgar Day salutations to JD and JCB.
