Savvy's Police Escort

Glen and Savannah were away to the Glasgow airport to pick up Lynn at 1pm on the 30th of June 2007.

Unfortunately Lynn's Doom flight was delayed by 2+ hours. Alas - no drive by pick up was possible and so Glen and Savvy went for an airport coffee to wait it out. As a result, they were caught in the scary terrorist related events whereby a truck drove into the terminal and went into flames. The airport went into immediate lock down. Unable to leave, Glen was stuck without an extra bottle for Savvy and no access to our car. He had to lurk about for help at the nearby car rental agencies and hotels. When no baby milk was to be found, a screaming Savvy was able to persuade the on site police to provide an escort back to our hotel. Good work by a resourceful dad and a shrieking baby, if you ask me.

Luckily, no innocent people were injured, although everyone was given a shock, a fright, and horrible delays. We feel lucky that Lynn arrived safely with her plane being the last to land before flights were re-directed. Tired and starving, I have to applaud Lynn's common sense - when she made it to the hotel room and tucked into a pasta salad, all she could focus on was the cost of eating an item from the hotel mini bar! Cuddles between Aunt Lynnie and Savvy followed and the proper visit began.
