Written between food and films yesterday.
Here we are at 34000 ft above a lot of water. 3000 miles to go.
Delta Airlines have the best safety briefing I have seen: treated as a comedy, it keeps you riveted and you may even remember the information...Daisy Bear is safely in the hold in my suitcase and I fear she may have something to say about this when we liberate her...
WHO IS Daisy Bear? I hear some of you cry. Well, she presided at a teddy bears picnic on top of Snowdon a few months ago in support of Brain Tumour Research and may well have achieved a Guinness world record. Shortly after that, Emma, who organised this as well as other fundraising stunts for BTR, died after an operation. The fundraising goes on and Daisy Bear is now on her first international outing, continuing the fundraising. She will be reporting her adventure on Facebook- make her a friend. Her fundraising Web page is at https://www.justgiving.com/Emma-Welch5/ .
In about 5 hours we will arrive in Atlanta, then on to Knoxville TN, where my son and his family live: Base Camp for our two month peregrination (look it up) of the US of A.
Kath writing now : I can't believe we are actually doing this! [I am terrified!] I'm pretty excited although taking off and landing are definitely not my favourite activities. We had a short delay at Amsterdam whilst some baggage was removed from the hold because there had been a delay on a connecting flight but we seem to be back on track now. They are feeding us well!
Note : all counsellors and student counsellors should see the film "Inside Out". Priceless.
More soon...
