Back Home

We made it back safe and sound at around 12:30pm on Friday. We were in plenty of time getting to Orlando then couldn't locate the Virgin Atlantic check-in desk. Having been checked in at the Upper Class desk on the strength of our Premium Economy tickets we then got the wrong shuttle and had to come back to get the right one! Luckily we still had time for a drink at the bar next to the departure gate.

The flight landed an hour early at Manchester then Carolyn was held up by a combination of understaffed immigration desks and a passport issue which we don't talk about. Anyway the luggage arrived and the car was brought to us promptly so all was well on that score. Between keeping below sixty-odd voluntarily and lots of 50mph limits we averaged 47mpg. Even so when we got to St Peters BP garage (the first after turning off the M5) there was only 5 miles worth of petrol in the tank according to the computer!

All was well at home - Sandra our cleaning lady had turned up the thermostat on the heating so Sunnymede was only a little bit chilly.
