Flying Scotsman

Apart from an ungracious BMI hostess on the way up- or is it flight attendant- a really enjoyable trip north of the border. The sight of harvesting as we approached Edinburgh got the day off to a good start. Very clean city too. The audience couldn't have been nicer- serious, thoughtful and mainly Scots. Some very good questions too. Met a nice medic called Bernard Ineichem who said that he'd abandoned medicine in favour of ethics after reading my Death and Deliverance- we corresponded about fourteen years ago. The Powerpoint gizmos all worked exactly as they were supposed to. BA was much better on the return run- and what a great building Terminal 5 at Heathrow is. A great soaring place of steel and glass.
