Ok, I’m sure you’ve all barely slept with excitement waiting for the next instalment of yesterdays thrilling Top 10 15 16 or 17 things about the UK.
Unfortunately H is in one of her lazier moods today and was still asleep in bed when I called her at 2:45 pm. So, we’re still not finished today, she’s got a couple more which I’ll have to post separately if she ever gets round to it.
Anyway, here we go: continue reading…
Ok, actually this is a top 15 because there are too many amazing things in the UK to possibly pack down to only 10 points:
Anyway, here are the first six or seven (she goes on a bit so I cut the post into two), in no particular order! (my comments in italics)
1. Busy Heathrow airport
When our airplane was about to land in Heathrow airport on Dec 18th, Dingle told me our airplane was doing the circling lining up waiting for land. I thought as always he made something up to tease me. After landing, I saw there were airplanes all over the sky. There were two airplanes constantly lined up. When one was about to land, another one would come to sight lining up. It took each plane 70 seconds on average to land.
Next day I was so excited so I woke up around 4am (stayed nearby Heathrow airport). There were at least 10 airplanes in the sky. Do not get confused by airplanes with stars when you see constant lights because after a while the lights will be flashing (maybe they are just too far away to see blinking). Furthermore, over 90% are international flights.
Next time I will bring a telescope.
