Journey Home

We got up very early this morning to catch our flight home. Our bus picked us up from the car park at the end of the road down from the hotel, however our pleasant Crystal rep Rory picked up our suitcases from the hotel. He also took me in his car because I was wearing trainers and it was snowing so possibly slippy underfoot. After dropping me off he drove back up the road to collect Heather who was already half way down, and then had to reverse down the road with her because of the snow! We boarded our bus and at 6.10 a.m. we were the first passengers, since the hamlet of Virl is at the end of the road. All went smoothly and checkin and security were swift and efficient at the airport. However our flight was delayed from its scheduled 10.15 departure and kept being pushed back. Ewan had the excellent idea of paying to use the lounge so we were very comfortable during our delay. The food was included which helped to justify the cost of the lounge. We were all in fairly good spirits because there was absolutely nothing to be done, and we  had good views of the runway from our luxurious reclining chairs. Finally our flight took off at nearly 2 p.m. and we were on our way home. The cats were very excited to see us and we had a fish supper and watched the last few episodes of The Traitors, compelling rubbish which I won’t watch again.
