The previous time Pat went to the UK she had a nightmare journey from Rimini to Stansted. Last Monday her journey from Ancona to Stansted went smoothly, and yesterday I left a Montefalcone basking in 14 degrees of sunshine to pick her up on her return. By the time I reached the coast the temperature had fallen to 6 degrees and things were fairly misty. When I reached the airport at around 2.15 and checked the flight status I found that take-off had been delayed and the the plane wouldn’t arrive until 4.20 - an hour and a half late. At half past four, the plane still hadn’t arrived. It was then announced that owing to the fog at Ancona the plane had been diverted to Perugia and the passengers would be bused the rest of the way.
She eventually arrived at 7 pm. We set off at once for home, only to find the slip road on to the motorway blocked in both directions by an accident. After ten minutes we were once more on our way and all was well until we left the A14 at Pedaso. And found ourselves in thick fog all the way to Ortezzano. We eventually reached home at 9 pm, a mere four and a half hours late.
