With my flights for FE so often leaving from Gatwick, it's nice to have a morning view over the approach to Heathrow once in a while. ^__^
Here is my long-overdue summary of my wonderful weekend at Furnal Equinox in Toronto! Day by day, I'll be posting my experiences to accompany a photo taken on each day.
I woke up just as we were approaching the Irish coast, just in time for our snack service, which was acceptable for airplane food. We landed a few minutes early, and emerged from the clouds on final approach to this lovely view over west London, particularly the Kew Botanical Gardens and the borough of Richmond. After leaving the airport, I sought out an information booth and asked for the cheapest way to get to Reading, and was told that I'd have to get the train or the express bus, each costing about £25. Some quick searching told me that I could, in fact, get a local bus to Slough, and then a train to Reading from there to pick up my pre-booked express train back home. I later found out that the information booth was, in fact, run by a private company that is very poorly rated on Google Maps. Hence why I'm not a huge fan of the culture at Heathrow Airport. :P
My travel back was quite smooth, and I had time in Slough to find a supermarket, buy some lunch, and enjoy some pastries and a cup of tea in their cafe. I got home just before 13:30, at which point I set down my bag, opened my work laptop, and got straight back to work. Yes, I'm crazy. No, you don't need to tell me again. ;-p
Hope you enjoy!

What a beauty! The view must be incredible from up there. I can't wait to go on travels, but first I need to plan all the details to make the trip perfect. By the way, while I'm sorting out my travel plans, I'm also looking for good places to eat. Any reviews of Hawaiian Bros Island Grill customer service https://www.pissedconsumer.com/hawa.....rill/RT-F.html ? I've heard great things about their food and would love to know more.
