We said goodbye to my Son this morning, he's off back up to University in Scotland having spent the weekend down here celebrating his Sister's 18th birthday with us. I drove him to Heathrow this morning, luckily the M4 wasn't busy and it only took 30 minutes to get to T5 from home; I was shocked however to discover that they now charge £5 simply to drop someone off at the terminal!! (modern day piracy is alive and well in Berkshire!) Anyway, we left home at 9:30am and he was in the air by 11am (flight track on the LHS) Landing on time in Edinburgh just after Midday, from there it's a short hop to the train station to catch a direct train up to St Andrews (Leuchars), crossing the Forth bridge on the way (picture on the RHS) he should be arriving at his destination around 1:30pm a total journey time of around 4 hours which isn't too shabby I reckon, modern life isn't so rubbish when everything works..
