Fancy that! Your airport has three runways? Down here they're still dithering about a third one for Heathrow
And Flossie should feel at home today as Oxfordshire area had snow this morning. It lasted about an hour but has pretty well cleared where we live

Loved your daughter's description of take-off from Sumburgh as “a bit bumpy but very quick”. What type of aircraft serve the islands? Those two-propeller jobs? Technophiles need to know...
Really, really fascinating. Having been up close to a dead whale in my my neck of the woods, I'm proud of you for being so brave—and I'm glad you had a cold and couldn't smell her because, trust me, that is an odor that is hard to get out of your system (and I can still still call it to memory and my tummy flips).
One on far right!

We'll have to take your word for it, Frances... 
Oh my ... they are both adorable.
