Helllllloooooo bloggers!

Cute cuddly toy, Boomoore.

Here we are, busy travellers that we've been lately. Yes, I've been there and back to England. And it was lovely to visit family.

Here's brave Boomoore of course. He was very good and didn't get at all travel-sick. In fact, he really did seem to enjoy the adventure of travelling. He especially liked the turn we took in the massage chair at the airport. Actually, I thought it was horrendous! I expected something soft, gentle, relaxing. But instead, these nasty metal hands seems to be pumelling my body mercilessly! Ouch!! I think they were male chairs. No female would ever be so rough! Or, perhaps I picked a wicked one? A chair with a grudge??

So, hubby got this special deal to upgrade me to business class. Now that really was fun! Lounging in the posh lounge. Snacking on all the food and drink. Which was FREE of course! It's amazing how much you can eat when it's free  Anyway, I made a mistake on my return flight time home, so ended up with five hours to kill at the airport! So, I made my way up to the business lounge -feeling superior of course! I started on the sandwiches and coffee with a rest in a large lounge chair. I then moved on to the internet room. Then on to a tomato juice or two - yum yum. Then, onto the desserts - chocolate cornflake slices and shortcake. Then, back to the quiet lounge to listen to my music. Then, back again to the sandwiches............In fact, it was only towards the last hour that I began eyeing up the wall of alcoholic drinks! I don't usually drink. They did look all sparkly and glassy. Hmmmm, a little drop of Drambuie was delicious. But, since I don't usually drink, it did feel awfully 'hot' going down!

So, anyway, I think that plane might've been a bit heavier than expected, after my five hours of snacking. But, well, you have to make the most of that lovely English food. I don't know why English food has such a bad reputation honestly. And they seem to put soooo much on your plate these days. I'm sure the plate sizes have gotten bigger over the years. I guess that explains why the people have, too.

Boomoore was very excited to fly. It was his first time on a plane. And since I was sitting in business class, I guess he was a VIP really. He did get a few strange looks sitting by the window on the plane. And the stewardess looked a little confused to see he had his seat-belt on, sitting next to me (the plane was fairly empty) But, maybe they realized he was a famous bear??

Beautiful View

Well, I've never seen such an excited little bear! Mind you, we were right by the wing and the engine. And the visibility and sunshine was truly beautiful that day. Of course, I tried to explain why everything became tiny, as we climbed, but I'm not sure Boomoore really understood. He is only a young bear, after all. And I'm not sure I really understand it myself......

Our business class meal didn't require much explanation though. Boomoore has a very good understanding of food, just like most bears. And what a feast! I'm still dreaming about that chocolate torte! Yum! There were some miniature bottles of dressing that Boomoore insisted I sneaked into my bag, since they were a perfect size for him! Though I can't imagine when the need will arise for 'orange and olive oil' dressing? But, perhaps one day such an emergency will arise?

Hey, Boomoore, save some for me!! MOVE AWAY FROM THE CHOCOLATE TORTE! !

Anyway, I returned home to no internet for two weeks, curtesy of Swisscom.....bless. They informed us that we'd never had internet at our address! Hmmm!! Funny, the imagination isn't it? Imagining I've been writing a blog for nearly two years now!!

Anyway, off to bed now. Must just add that we went to visit some Swiss thermal baths last weekend. It was wonderfully bubbly and relaxing, especially the outdoor pool with even more bubbles. But imagine our shock when we decided to wander into the sauna and found everybody NAKED! It took a while for the steam to clear. And there was a moment when you kind of thought: are they? Aren't they? ARE THEY? Then......... the steam cleared........and they were!!

We made a hasty exit!
