On the ground in Manchester!!

It is mid-morning here in Manchester at Steve Archer's place in Fallowfield,Manchester. A slow steady rain is falling from a miserable grey sky, but we have been given a warm welcome by Steve who met us at Manchester Airport after the 13 hour non-stop flight from Singapore. From Sydney Airport right through to Manchester all flights with Singapore Airlines were on time and up to high standards. I am surprised by how 'normal' Lynne & I feel despite an obvious night of broken or no sleep. From door to door was about 30 hours.
The Airbus 380 flight was an awesome experience; the big plane was smooth & roomy. Cabin service and food was excellent. 8 hours non-stop to Singapore, then an hour or so to change onto the red-eye special leaving Singapore at midnight and arriving Manchester at 0630 local time.
Right now we are just unwinding after the flight & catching up with Steve before we decide what comes next & in what order.
