Hong Kong to LHR!

This is different.... Dinner described as "beef tenderloin, with new potatoes and baby carrots".... Was it good? Neiggghhhhhh!  Taste like the rumours of horse meat in the UK might have a noddy of truth in them!

Sorry my British friends but it truly was a tough piece of something only vaguely resembling beef (same colour) and swimming in gravy with half a carrot and a couple of soggy spuds...

The wine is good.... French, light and a beautiful Burgundy chardy! Not a lot of risk they will run out though.... Hmmmmm... Ermmmm yes please... Whenever you are ready....

And dessert? Well I passed on the rhubarb mousse, which brought back some "great" memories of school dinner ladies and blancmange....

The seating is a novel experience, sort of a cubby hole for two...... not very practical, albeit private....

I know K wasn't too impressed half way here when he learned I had a full change of clothes in the carry on bag he's carrying, but 34 hours in, I reckon he is secretly pleased....  he is hiding it well though...

Airport security at Heathrow was a tad more intense than Bris Vegas or Hong Kong.  Ironic that the only leg of the journey where I was photographed and had to have my boots x-rayed was for the last little hop from London to Manchester! It seemed chaotic but in fairness was only 10 minutes from plane to lounge so not bad... just a tad stressful and for no obvious reason.

The BA lounge is one of the best I have seen....

PS- if that customs photo appears on Facebook somebody dies....
