Somewhere over the Bay of Biscay

Youngest snapped this for me*. She had claimed the window seat and was enjoying the three hours in the air as much as is possible to do so.

( * Other budget airlines are available )

We were fashionably late to the gate to board the aircraft. Sat enjoying a coffee & bite to eat, a question came, "What time do we fly?" .... "About an hour I reckon " (we had arrived at the airport reasonably early) " hang on I'll go and check the screen" ... panic then ensued as the screen stated next to our flight number in bold black on yellow LAST CALL

( aaaarrrrggghhh! ) ( etc etc., )

We ran in the wrong direction, then in the right direction, up some steps, along a corridor - youngest now walking and not happy with her tour organiser - down an escalator to join the back of a very short queue of fellow latecomers and board our tin bird for the flight back to Manchester.

Made it back anyway. Phew!
