I keep my blog as a personal record of what I'm up to, which might be seen as working towards "An elegant sufficiency, content, retirement, rural quiet, friendship, books, ease and alternate labour, useful life"

I'm certainly not there yet.  There is quite some way to go!

It’s a place where the WH Smith magazines are at the rear of the store, not right by the front door.

The front shelves are reserved for tea towels

The Olympics are a strong theme here too, with a dedicated shop selling all kinds of souvenir of an event which is still to come.  Perhaps there is another word for that? (My Hero suggests "prevenir”.  Discuss)

For some reason, people here love their Toblerone and there is a huge display of the biggest sized bars.  I’ve yet to work that one out, too.

But I love the art and always smile when I pass the horse-with-a-lampshade-on-his-head.

Maybe you’ve guessed already?  Perhaps you need no further clues?

We’re sitting at Heathrow Terminal 5, waiting for our flight. 

See you when we get there!
