Day 1 10.15am
On the train

Well , What can I say we are on the way, had an interesting time getting off the island. After and exercise in the morning
BIH went technical and we were going to be on our way to Newquay on a Twin Otter, however lovely Merryn was able to sort
something out and we ended up heading to LE on the Islander, so after the weigh in! We were all positioned accordingly and
for the first time ever Iwasn't in the front row! I sat next to Tony who had been over working on the detal suit and he
and his friend (who looked just like Steve McDonald- from Corrie)
just loved the grass landing especially when the pilot folded in the wings!!!



Anyway we were met by Mounts Bay's most executive E reg coach which was to take us back to the heliport.

Of all the afternoon's mechanical death traps I think that the executive coach was the worst and as we came into PZ
were were suffocated not by the atmosphere of a seaside town gripped by winter but by a far more interesting and intoxicating
smell of electrical burning!! I wanted to kiss the ground at PZ Heliport!

After a quick catch up with the gorgeous BIH Becky we popped into town and dinner was in the Wetherspoons.
Mark amazed me by TRYING GAMMON!! and then further AMAZED me by liking it! I subconciously probed him and asked whether this
was just a big ploy so that he doesn't have to try anything else but he said he'd not thought of it that way!
Anyway We checked into the ultra lovely Camilla House and then went to sleep in comfortable beds humoured by the local news
which documented the excitement of the BIH Penzance exercise on the beach, which simulated a heli-crash just yards from
the airport. The feature also highlighting their unrivalled scheduled service to the IOS!!

This morning after a lovely cooked breakfast we a mad gallop round penzance doing some last minute (you will I'm sure
be surprised) admin. The weather is miserable- rainy, overcast, and generally crap definitely not flying weather so it's a
good job we left when we did. We came to the Train station which takes us to the present- just passed Truro.

To make up for the weather I think about this afternoon I will hopefully be treating myself to some fab wranglers on
Carnaby Street and helping Mark adjust to London,before dinner with the girls, and then maybe outdoor Ice Scating at the
natural history museum! (The last time I went skating outdoors was at New Year in Ypres) Can't wait.

Tommorow will be Daniel Craig, and possibly the Tower of London (if only they were together!) before Duty Free
tommorow night!!!

So until then chao for now. xxxx


11.06am Essential News!!!

Mark and I have just been upgraded to First Class!!! Big squishy seats, free tea and coffee and also a copy of the Times!
lets hope this is the theme for the next 6 weeks! (Being the classy pair we are I couldn't help but capture the moment!)


Actually Mark has just told me that its was more down to the weirdo sat opposite us in the normal body of the train but
either way I'm chuffed! I never thought I'd be pleased to be so close to the mentally disturbered (But then again they
could be getting him away from me!!!) Ooh First Great Western thank you!
