"Reunited" - Peaches and Herb, 1979

Hello from Cape Town!

About 5:30pm yesterday, I got a knock at the door of my hotel room here in Cape Town. It was a porter with…


MY LUGGAGE!!!!! I just can't believe it!

Everything is fine…although one of the pieces had obviously gotten very wet somewhere along the way. According to British Airways’ website, they were delivered to Cape Town on the flight from Heathrow on Sunday night, which got into the airport here on Monday morning.

According to the BBC today, BA admit that at least 10,000 pieces of baggage have been “lost” since the additional security measures were undertaken last Thursday. And they claim that so far about 5000 of those have been reunited with their owners…mine being two of them.

I’m using a wireless connection in the lobby of the hotel, so I don’t have much time. But I thought I’d post a few photos taken from my room…the first from the window of the kitchen (it’s a “suite” hotel) and the other three from the balcony off the living room. It’s just beautiful, as you’ll see.

I’m fairly sure that I won’t post a Lord Celery item again until I get back to the UK over the weekend. OH....and let me post a couple of photos I took at Heathrow airport last Friday afternoon, during my chaotic check-in...





I'm sorry that the headline of the story on the newspaper above isn't visible. But you can see that the man sitting down on the roof of the Heathrow parking garage is reading about the thwarted terrorist attack.

Sorry about the poor quality of the two photos above. They were taken with my mobile phone...before I had to stow it in my checked luggage, of course!

I hope all of you are doing well. I’ll catch up with my favorite blogs when I’m back in Britain.

Take care of yourselves...and I DO hope none of you have to fly in the near future!
