7th April
– All in all a good day.
Firstly I received an e-mail from ‘The Travel Chanel’ saying
that one of my pictures (see left) had been chosen as the daily winner in their ‘Around
the World in 80 Days’. This meant I won some travel scales, a Palin's 'Around the World in 80 Days' mug, a worry ball and bag. All very nice but the really exciting bits
are the extras.
The first extra is that my submitted photograph will feature
on TV on the Travel Chanel. So that’s a
first.
The second extra is that all 80 of the daily winners then go
forward into a final competition with one of the daily winners being chosen to
win round the world flight tickets. The route
is Dubai, Bangkok, Sydney, Santiago
(Chile) and Buenos Aires. Fingers crossed.
Later in the day things got even better with an e-mail informing me that I had won a £100 in Morrisons vouchers in their Saturday night takeaway competition.
22nd – I received an e-mail from Jet2 to say I’d
won two tickets to a Viennese Evening at
the Concorde Conference Center at Manchester airport. It is an evening of Viennese music and dance
all in a large room where the aeroplane Concorde is kept. Also and most importantly, we get to do a
quick tour of Concorde.
We arrived to a red carpet entrance into the building, where
one we cleared reception we were greeted by our first glimpse of Concorde. We decided to join the queue to go aboard
Concorde before the concert, mercifully the queue was quite short at that
stage. From the outside the plane is a
thing of beauty, inside it feels very small compared to modern planes.
The rest of the evening was composed of classical
Viennese music, song and ballroom
dancing all sat under the wings of the plane.
A slightly surreal but nevertheless enjoyable experience.
