Well, I'm back home...

I found out very early in the morning that things were going to be 'severely disrupted' with flights out from Heathrow, but on the strength of no further news is good news, I headed on down to London, dropping Simon off at the station and taking Lizzie to her nana and grandad's. By the time I got there it was pretty clear that this was going to be more of a problem than simply not taking hand luggage onto the plane. All the BA flights from Heathrow were cancelled, and so there was nothing I could do but stay and have a chat with my Dad, and then come home!

I am terribly disappointed and awfully sorry [livejournal.com profile] erestor that I couldn't get there! BUT as has been said time and time again in our journals, safety and health and security is far, far, far more important, and at least no one was killed. The alternative is too awful to think about.

Anyone who thinks the security response was an overreaction, or views the whole thing with a cynical, careless attitude...well, come and see me.

Couldn't have said it better. I think the BAA did exactly the right thing.

((hugs)) I'm so sorry you couldn't get off to see Erestor, but I'm beyond thankful that you (and the rest of the lot) are okay.
