ARRIVALS AND DEPARTURES

Off to Heathrow`s new Terminal 5 later today to meet our youngest son (pictured above) and his wife, along with our two grandsons, aged 7 and 5, who live in Hamburg and who will be staying with us for a few days.

It will be my first visit to Terminal 5 so I`m quite looking forward to perhaps a more civilised and welcoming atmosphere than exists in the other Heathrow terminals, although reports of computer glitches fouling up the baggage handling service yesterday are worrying.

Mrs. Snopper and I don`t do flying - the last time was the helicopter from Penzance to Tresco. It`s not that we have a fear of flying....more a fear of crashing. And I do wish they wouldn`t call them `Terminals.`
