She is rather petite and I have visions of her sailing into the sky like Mary Poppins! The stopping the things from flying... Yesss Bumpy touch downs on inbound and outbound flights...

People don't generally realise how thick air is, but just get your Mum to hold her hand out of a car window even at the modest speed of 50 mph and she'll soon feel how strong it can be. (Safety Note: Just make sure she doesn't fly off and out the window of course.)

You didn't believe and that is why it didn't work... Or maybe the traffic jam presented some answers to be explored ;-) We did make it despite the bent wing ;-)

She might have wanted you to tell the captain. By the way I tried that "belief" thing with my car in a traffic jam. Didn't work. And you made it despite a bent wing too :)

I replied 'it is because we believe they do'. ;-) And thank you :-) As we arrived at the airport my Mum said ‘I don’t know how the get in the air and stay up there’.

I was a little tired after packing far to much into the weekend. I am having a lazy day today before going back to work tomorrow. Thank you :-) I got back yesterday evening.

(or maybe you're home already, in which case, I hope you had a fabulous break.) Either way, I'm sure the photographs will be spectacular. I wish you a wonderful trip.
