Haley Arrives

Haley arrives Christmas Day! This was a little tricky. I was in touch with Haley as she made her way across the pond when she had wifi at her different lay overs. She landed at Heathrow and all seemed great. Then I get a text, there is no buses that run today. I texted her back yes there are, go to the bus station. Anyway we run through quite a few texts and I am checking web for bus schedules... And she says that the people at airport says no buses. She says I am going out of airport so I might loose wifi. And that is all I hear from her. 

She was thinking ok if this does not work I will just call mom and she will help me figure it out. Oops she ran out of power and has no converter. She is on her own! 

This is about 8:30. Ok, so I think, she should be on bus soon and there is wifi on the bus and I should hear from her. Wait, wait , wait, nothing. Ok, she has no power, she might not have enough money for ticket, no, she can not find bus station, there actually are no buses and I am looking at a $400 tax ride...... Could be a lot of things. Best I could do is walk over to bus station at Glouster Green and make sure buses are running. 

The dogs and I get over to Glouster Green and I figure out all I told her was get to Glouster Green and I will pick you up. She has no,idea where to go for there. I told her there was a cafe Neros we could meet at, but it was not open. Anyway the 10 o'clock bus comes in and no Haley. Talk to the driver and next bus is at 11:00. 

There is hope, still no text from Haley. Dogs and I talk a walk around the camera, down to Christ Church and on the way find a bakery that has a soy latte. Life is looking up. It is a beautiful day, blue sky and warm. Now only if I can find Haley.

You can not walk anywhere with out seeing these kind of buildings popping up everywhere. Radcliffe Camera, library, 

Return to the bus station thinking ok, i can maybe give the bus driver money to look for Haley at Heathrow, no that would not work. I could call her but if her cell is dead that will not work.  Ok just hope she is on the bus. But if she was on the bus they have wifi and I have had no text from her,  ok enough of the doomsday scenario's.

The bus pulls up to the stop and a bunch of Japanese get of, no Haley, then last one off, I see her at the door looking worried. She also had the thought, what do I do when I get there to find mom. Start walking circles yelling her name. I told her the flat was about 3 blocks from bus station. But then I whistled, and a big smile appeared on her face as she looked up and saw me across the boarding area waiting for her. Yes, a very Merry Christmas!
