Airport greenery

We stayed on in Ullapool an extra day so that James could rest up some more after his ordeal; his version of resting up was to work really hard in the garden! This meant that we arrived back in Cambuslang yesterday afternoon and repacked straight away for our London trip. We did have time to reunite with the cats and spend a convivial curry evening with Ally. (Ally seems to have many work commitments in Edinburgh over the next few weeks.)

And here I am blogging on the plane, while waiting to depart at 9.55 a.m. We parked at a new (to us) long stay car park which was only five minutes walk from the airport, and at this time of year it was a very pleasant walk, on a path lined with much foliage; trees and bushes. You could almost forget that you were on a busy airport campus. We were in plenty of time for our flight, and are sitting in the front row so that we have extra leg room. The last time we did this we were assailed with icy blasts of air coming in the door as the other passengers boarded; luckily this time it is only a refreshing springtime breeze.
