This is David Brown, the colleague I came to help. Spent the morning sorting out the problems and helped out in other areas. Hopefully I've done some good.
Belfast is the city where they made the Titanic - not the movie, the ship! Here are the cranes that mark the shipyard. I'm not sure if these cranes were there when the ship was made or not, but can you imagine the ship towering over the city?
Chris, having made sure that I had plenty of time to help David booked me on a late flight out of Belfast. That meant I had lots of time to watch the planes land and take off. The plane flew over Livingston and I could see the chapel from the air. It looked different. It was too dark to try and take a picture. When ever I fly over Livingston I try to see my house, but the flight path is directly over it. Never mind!
It's good to be home.
Glad I went yesterday and not today - all the UK airports are shut down because of the ash from the Icelandic volcano!
ReplyDeleteExpect a cooler, darker summer. The ash will gradually blanket the northern hemisphere, cooling us down ... Hey maybe that's the answer to global warmimg ... After Krakatoa blew; there was a period of about 3 years where there were very poor or no crops grown in Canada, because of the cooling from the global ash cloud!
ReplyDeleteMaybe we are seeing the effects already - I'm sure Hell froze over when the LibDems and the Troys joined together and formed the Coalalition!!!!
