Arrived in the UK yesterday for over a months stay here. The reason for being here is work , the opportunity it provides me is to see family and many of the wonderful places and countryside I miss from being in the US. I Flew in from Chicago where I spent a good few hours sitting on the runway looking at snow building up on the wings of the plane. I watched the film Pride and Prejuduce and when it was finishing I looked out the window we were still sitting on the runway. How I longed to be tucked up in a comfortable bed. This was my coach class flight back . I miss the pampering and the beds in the BA business class. I took over the three rows and lay out sleeping best I could during the flight once we eventually took off.
On arrival in Heathrow I managed to find the hotel without getting lost and now trying to make it feel like home from home. I think Im going to miss the hotel I used to stay in but trying the Sheraton out. http://www.heathrow-direct.com/sheratonHeathrow.cfm Why do the rooms always look better in the photos, than when you are in the room. Anyway I got the mini bar emptied out (without drinking it) and now it is full of my more healthy and cost effective food I purchased from Sainsburys. I went to visit family, good to see everyone, Helen Mick Nana Ruth (now 96 years old) and Ray and Mum.
Today still undecided what to do . Sunny out and thinking about taking a drive around the countryside.Take a walk , pub lunch and take some photos.
