Still only almost here….
Unfortunately, you will have to wait until tomorrow (Friday) to welcome our visitors. Last night at just before 8pm when we were all about to leave for the airport, I received a phonecall from Mr Nyasulu.
They had missed their flight from London to Edinburgh!
Fortunately, they were able to book onto another flight, but not until 1.30pm on Thursday.
Thank goodness for mobile phones and the internet, as, despite being 400 miles away, Mrs Dallas and I between us were able to book and pay for all of the following: 2 rooms in a hotel, dinner and bed & breakfast, a return taxi journey from and to the airport whilst Mr Innes was able to arrange payment of the flight supplements. Phew!!!!
We are very grateful to an un-named BA employee who allowed Mr Nyasulu to use her phone. Steve, the operations manager at Travelodge Terminal 5 Heathrow and Station Cars cab services all of whom helped us enormously in our emergency arrangements. So to them we say a big
Ndawonga! (Chitonga for thank-you)
