Today read the news that tv journalist Carol Barnes had suffered a fatal stroke,I followed the ladies career after being in her company on a trip to Lisbon,along with Sheila,on the return flight we three were sat together and there was a degree of turbulence,which prompted an expletive from Carol that due to her very posh voice made us laugh,as it did'nt sound like swearing it was too posh.
During the turbulence Carol opened a bottle of duty free whisky and said would I like to share a drink to calm our nerves,I agreed,and we started into our paper cups of whisky,meanwhile Sheila went to speak to some of the others in the party,on her return she found Carol and me swigging out of the bottle in turn,and I am told that most of the bottle was gone.
A light note but a sad end to the tale,as Carol was only 63 years old,and not long ago lost her daughter in an accident in Australia.
Brother in law Norman met us at luton airport with our car which i was supposed to drive home ,but due to slight inebriation Norman undertook the job,and I believe it was cup final day,so I missed that one.
