London to Manchester

Saturday 31st December
We arrived in Heathrow after a more comfortable night than is usual in a plane, thanks to having been bumped to Club World. This was my seat. I think Paul has a better photograph of both of us in the seat, so I'll try to get a copy on my computer and post it here.



At least I was able to lie out flat and shut my eyes for a little over 3 hours. I didn't really sleep, but I was lying down, so I felt a lot better. Paul didn't even attempt to sleep but watched an opera on his laptop. I imagine he will flake out some time later today.

We were invited to make use of the Club World lounge, so we did just that. We parked our luggage and had a wonderful shower, then enjoyed the free coffee. There was free Wi-Fi too, but I still couldn't post any pictures. I am just slightly worried that the software has gone wrong, but will wait and see what happens at home.

At mid-morning, we set off for Euston Station, and arrived in time to collect tickets, have a quick lunch, then catch our train to Manchester. We had booked a lunch time train in case the plane was late, so we had some hours to wait.

We babysat for our grandson in the evening, and it was NOT a quiet evening, as he had not been put to bed by us for four and a half months and didn't particularly want us, he wanted his patents. So Paul wasn't able to make up for his sleepless night on the plane!
