The Crossroad of the World

An early trip to Heathrow Terminal 4 this morning to meet my father who was returning from a five week visit to Delhi in India. He was well and was pleased to see my mother and I, though I suspect he will be glad to be home. There will no doubt be plenty of pictures and stories to see and hear over the coming months.

For those who don't know, London Heathrow is the World's busiest international airport and early morning is when a huge proportion of the long-haul flights arrive. You certainly see all sorts of people and every emotion!

For stalkers, the route today was:

• Out: Bus 140 to LHR123; Heathrow Express (free) to Terminal 4.
• Back: Rail replacement Coach to Hatton Cross, Piccadillly Line to Northfields, E2 bus to West Ealing, to Greenford on First Great Western Link, then the last leg on the Central Line.

Not a single hitch either way, so having got up at 5.30am I can now go for a snooze before I get on with my weekend tasks.
