Thanks for the great conversation! And the added security of your carry-on, in case of the emergency water landing. 😉 And on behalf of my son, who would have been super sad without Effy, (as well as myself, not having a weepy little boy at the end of a long, long trip day ending well past bed-time), thank-you for saving his favourite stuffy from being lost. My sunglasses weren’t so lucky. I got caught up with the end game of luggage and keeping my ducks together and wanted to have another word with you (many, many more actually), but when I turned around you had skedaddled. I’ve always thought of my current house as that stereotypical albatross around the neck, so, thanks for enlightening me on that. —Mr. 13C
