It's been a long morning all in all; leaving the house at 7am and driving the "long way around" to Bristol Airport to avoid any NATO traffic. It worked-we arrived in plenty of time, but that does mean that now me and my cold have got a 40 minute wait before I know my gate and can board. Pre-security, there were masses of police officers, and never before have I seen so many with guns! Small town girl syndrome I suppose! Here in the departure lounge though I can't see any. Either the government doesn't see the need, or I'm surrounded by black ops and haven't a clue! It was a little disconcerting having such high level security; makes you think that something bad is going to happen...I dread to think of the chaos in Cardiff!
I should really go and get some food, it will be mid afternoon by the time I land, but I haven't been hungry all morning..to say that it's been an emotional farewell would be a distinct understatement!
