Nearly missed the flight. .

The trip was great apart from one small thing! We are sitting in the lounge getting something to eat and heather asked me If we had plenty of time left. I said of course but quietly checked the monitors, bearing I mind the desk said to leave by 20.50, the clock showed 21.25 and the flight was due to depart at 21.40. And we were at least 10 minutes to the gate.

Breaking the news gently to Heather, who gave me a 'we will discuss this later look', we grabbed our stuff and took off at some speed.

And it is a long way to a gate that happens to be at the far end of the airport, with lots of people that do not have the same priority as you. Heather said she had never run so fast in her life. And we some how got lost missing a turning!

We arrived at the gate at 21.40 which was deserted, save for two frantic people and a waiting bus. Phew....
