Arrivals

This morning I headed to Heathrow to meet Martha, arriving from the USA to spend a week with me!  We were roommates in our college days and now we will be roommates for one week of European vacation for her!  I love having visitors.  

I also love airport.  Arrivals is a happy place.  Departures can be also, but tears are much more common in departures.  Arrivals is a place of expectation and anticipation.  Everyone waits for someone to walk through those automatic doors.  I love watching people as they walk through from customs and immigration, scanning the crowd for a familiar face.  Everyone relaxes just a little bit once they connect with the one/s they are expecting.  


Martha and I made the long journey home to my little corner of London. She's now laying down for a kip.  I'm looking forward to the coming week!
