It was an early start for the flight back to France. We were very sad to leave because Tim and Sue had been fabulous hosts, but France and the dogs beckoned so off we went.
Having passed through airport security this morning we saw two 'characters' from Alice in Wonderland. I've no idea what they were selling but their presence really summed up the continuing fiasco at security. Security at Luton is too tight and, more to the point is a total waste of time if the same type of security restrictions aren't applied in other parts of the world. A recent example were our trips starting in France and Spain. They just play at security. The woman standing next to me, who had just flown in from the States with a large bottle of water, had it confiscated at Luton. This is a nonsense and a huge irrational inconvenience to the English travelling public and it has spurred me on to start writing to people in government. Watch this space.
We knew that my son James and his fiancee were travelling on the same flight so we planned to surprised them at the airport. It didn't work because they spotted us first. Hey ho, the thought was there.

Then it was back home to pick up the dogs who we hadn't seen for two weeks. It was good to have them back, even if they were covered in dust and smelly. Love us, love our smelly dogs.
