What I like about airports

Years ago there was a viewing park at the airport and many people would drive there with sandwiches and flasks, and hang out to watch the planes.

I used to work near the airport and at lunchtime we would sometimes pop over if we needed to buy something. Or just to get a coffee. I don't think you can do this now unless you have a ticket.

When I lived in London I would occasionally drive to Heathrow. I'd go on my own or with a friend. We might have Harry Ramsden's fish and chips.

It was always fun looking through duty free for bargains.

Being in an airport always felt like the start of a new adventure. The beginning of a journey. Sometimes that was the start of living in a different country.

I like to arrive in good time so that I can get checked in, have a look around, get a latte, journal, and sit and watch people around me.

I've seen a few celebs at different airports. I once had a brief chat with photographer David Bailey.

Waiting for someone you're picking up or being picked up by someone waiting for you.
