Left Worthing at 2pm and headed to Gatwick airport. We are flying to Portugal for the weekend to meet Matt and Anna for their daughters Amelia christening. Plane was slightly delayed meant to have taken off 5.15pm landed at 8.30 pm picked up a hire car from the airport then drove to our hotel. It was only 3 miles away. Couldn’t believe how close the airport is to the city and how close the plane is to the buildings when it comes into land. Dropped our bags into our room then headed off to the bull ring to meet Matt and his friend Naz for a drink. Lovely and warm. Few beers a snack and a bottle of wine ! Back to the hotel around 1am
