Steppin'outtamyshoes: She's back in London

See he couldn't wait to see me

What can I say I just can't resist a chance to spend time in London and a weekend sounded good to me. We got on the plane and I thought wow leaving Philly on time for a change NOT they announced they could not start the engines and they called mechanics after awhile they said it was a starter and would be at least 2 hour so they opened the door to the jet way and next thing you know we were told to get off and bring our carry on.They said at least a 2 hour delay.

I was so tired so there were chairs lined up with arms but there was space I somehow managed to semi lay down and stretch out between the bars but after awhile uncomfortable. then I changed position with my head on the handles and dozed off came too all sore. so managed to change position again to a total lay down with one arm at my tummy and slept. They got a starter from another plane and we were good to got so we hurried and boarded and we off 1 am 3 hours 10 mins late.

My seat partner was the most fascinating woman she is Muslim and a writer she has written 13 books and she was on her way to London to speak she was totally amazing and a beautiful person and full of such love and energy. She told me about her children home schooled and her 13 year old has written 7 books. she asked for my address to send me a book she wrote called I am not a terrorist.

I slept most of the flight after some wine, customs was so long but they got us through quickly and it was Buffalo days. First I spotted a sabres cap and then a bills cap they were together than I saw Canisius high school shirt and it was another family from Buffalo as I said wow its amazing they let us all in at once.

I got to London around 3 and my cc did not work so that was a mess to be straightened out then I got my act together so go to St James. ah heaven as the azaleas and rhodys are in blooms snap snap then the ducks saw a breed I had never seen. I got my token on the bridge photo talked to squirrels of course they were happy to see me and posed.
