Another 0530 start and I was on my way to UK to see family and friends for a brief break bewteen trips. This time it was an Austrian airbus flight to London Heathrow Terminal 1. An early morning with breakfast in the lounge in Vienna before getting into the A320 to make the trip. By 0930 I was out of the airport and in my Hertz car and away to see my father and my sister and her husband.
It was a very pleasant drive with not too much traffic after the M25 had been negotiated- that is always a gamble. The trip went well and Daddy was in good form fora 96 year old. AFter a snack lunch woith him I headed off to my hotel for the night .
The next day an early start saw me back at my sister's place to help Daddy do the crosswords in The Times and The Daily Telegraph ( I do the writing he does the answers!) before heading off back to return the car and meet Clare for lunch. A good leisurely pub lunch and then off to terminal 1 for the last flight back to Vienna. The car was waiting as this flight means that you run the risk of missing the last traini if there are any delays. To my amazement we found ourselves on the autobahn at 2400 hors ina 3 lane solid grid lock; road works menat that for 2-3 Km only one lane was open and it was astounding to see how much traffic was being held up. Still I got back to the flat OK and another trip was over - great to see Daddy, Al, Tim and Clare ( and do a bit of shopping at Tescos)
