Half an hour?<br /><br />I bet you got a free drink on the flight into Egypt unlike Ryan Air. We added Priority Boarding when booked our flight. On the return from Faro an air stewardess said: "This queue is for priority boarding." I said: "I know am in it.!" Then she said: "Sorry". <br /><br />Thanks Gwil.northsider https://www.blogger.com/profile/00716743611909673869noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1577767911269302322.post-62567316533330978202017-04-16T03:20:17.752-06:002017-04-16T03:20:17.752-06:00But how far can a donkey walk in a day?

I think we become fearful of donkeys and horses because we are not use to them any more. One of my greatest childhood memories was coming to Ireland and riding around on the horse and cart with the car tyres, haymaking by hand with pitchforks of loose hay and taking the milk churns to the churn stand down the road. <br /><br />The West Country will give you lots of great holiday breaks Sol. Cornwall is my favourite county in England. Herefordshire isn't far behind either. You will be on holiday most of the time won't you?northsider https://www.blogger.com/profile/00716743611909673869noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1577767911269302322.post-45251853533165869732017-04-10T09:44:20.562-06:002017-04-10T09:44:20.562-06:00When the oil runs out, we will all be back to hors...When the oil runs out, we will all be back to horse and cart rather than electric cars. For some reason I am quite fearful of donkeys and horses, they are up their with things that fly, birds, daddy long legs etc<br /><br />I dont think we will have a holiday this year. But if we move to Cornwall and I go part time I will be on holiday most of the time!Solhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10518631542782309728noreply@blogger.com
