The blue awaits above the grey, just as I wait in the departure lounge at Newcastle International Airport. The torrential rain seems to have stopped, but it's still quite breezy, to say the least. It's quite a short flight down to London Heathrow - scheduled take-off is 16.30 and arrival at Terminal 5 is at 17.50.
Thanks to my friend Carl I had a trouble free trip up to the airport after a more hectic morning packing, locking cases and then unlocking, opening, packing some more things, locking cases and then unlocking, opening, packing,locking cases and then unlocking, opening, packing. As I sit here I'm still wondering which vital item I have left behind.
But enough of this! The journey has begun. The journey began 24 hours ago for one of my wonderful young Russian friends. She left Krasnoyarsk in Siberia at 13.00 our time, with the first stage in her journey to Moscow an eleven hour bus ride to Tomsk. There she will meet up with friends before heading to Tomsk airport at some time in the very near future. Her flight ( 5 1/2 hours in duration) will arrive in Moscow Sheremetyevo tomorrow morning, about four hours after my flight arrives at Domodyedovo. It's amazing what people will do for music!
Next stop London Heathrow.....
