Well this blogging lark is stretching my very limitedly grasp of technology !  I spent a good hour yesterday describing in detail my Journey so far, on my smart phone !  Sadly it wasn't that smart for on pressing publish, my labour of love disappeared into the ether never to be seen again!  I'm now endeavouring to achieve the impossible and publish this with the aid of my Hudl, we all have our expectations !

Thursday 26th Feb and the alarm was set for 3.40am !:-(

We got to Bristol Airport at 4.20am in plenty of ti!me for the 6.15am KLM flight to Amsterdam!  How come the KLM desk is the furthest away from the entrance ?  However the check I'm lads were helpful and once the formalities were completed I
 waved  good by to my incredibly heavy suitcase and went I'm search of a restorative coffee!  As a by the way the Soho coffee shop makes a delicious latte !

The flight was full and uneventful I had a lovely young Indian girl next to me - she had driven up from Taunton - and was exceedingly tired as her two little girls had very disturbed nights with their Mummy going off on holiday !

I'm goimg to try to publish this and if it succeeds will continue with the next phase - oh joy but I promise my sense of humour will return if that goal is achieved!
