I have finally persuaded this ridiculous machine (a Windows 10) to accept a photograph. It is a picture Ann designed and embroidered a good many years ago of the house she grew up in. The house is in Norfolk, on the edge of the fens. When we were first married (in 1963) we rented the upper floor of this house from her father for a couple of years; then, some years later (in 1977, I think) we bought the place from him, together with its Huge garden, and an acre or so of park land; did it up (it needed a good deal doing to it), stayed there for ten years, and brought our family up there.

Ann's just had a 'phone call from Ruth. Ruth and her girls plan to spend Christmas with us, but, due to dimboes playing silly beggars with a 'drone' at Gatwich, have had to postpone their visit for a couple of days or so. What said subtle humourists the silly beggars get out of it, only they in their total lack of wisdom, know. If I carry on on the subject of silly beggars, I shall become heated. More later, perhaps.

I fear the incidents you mention may have far more sinister and far reaching implications Mike. But Whatever/Whoever is responsible they have done the British airlines a great favour by alerting them to prepare contingency plans for any untoward events. In a properly run business a "local game-keeper" would have mistaken it for a rook and downed it in minutes, and wishfully would have treated the operator the same way when located. Time to dig up Dick Alderton perhaps?
Hi Mike, here's a bit of Orpheus in the under-threes:-

Copy and paste it, I think Ann will appreciate it too.
As Crowbard says, disruptive and unpleasant as it has been for those affected, at least it's drawn attention to the dangers, which the government was oblivious to. I hope you have a lovely Christmas with your family, and it was such a delight to see you last week. Love to you and Ann from me and Tim.
Merry Christmas Both, fond good wishes, Carl & Judy.
All very odd. We were able to rebook our flight for Sunday 23rd, instead of Thursday 20th, no problems even though it was much closer to Christmas and should have been fully booked. I doubt they will ever find who was responsible.
