Well another week is almost over. I arrived back in France late last night after yet more airline delays. I've really not had any luck flying this week, so I'm just going to chill out over the next few days with very little traveling scheduled! In fact not everything went to plan at all this week! On Tuesday I arrived at the studio, proceeded to prepare for shooting, was made up and had my hair done when....... I found out that there were technical problems with the lights and the whole day's filming was cancelled! Instead we had a production meeting with the team covering the next few episodes. In case you're not familiar with any of the iBall crew I thought I'd share a photo of iBall editor Steve McDowell with you guys (below).......
Due to Tuesday's technical problems we had to work flat out on Wednesday and Thursday to make up time.
As one of the shows was on Hornby we were faced with the added distraction of the boys (of all ages) sneaking off to play with the train sets too! Throw in a couple of nights out with friends and it's been a busy week all in all. I'm keeping my fingers crossed next week will run a little smoother on all fronts.
We finally finished everything on Thursday and I was faced with the dash to Luton airport to make my flight! Despite managing to arrive at the airport on time I was faced with the demoralising news that the flight had been delayed - for 4 hours!!!!! As usual it was chaos at the Easyjet desk and it wasn't long before one bright spark pointed out that by the time the rearranged flight touched down in Nice - the airport would be closed!!!!! Cue more confusion! After various threats, discussions, shouting and general grumbles of discontent our disposition was brightened by the news that our flight had been changed yet again. This time to the detriment of a flight to Malaga..... cue chaos from those unfortunate passengers who suddenly found out their plane had been hijacked to take us to Nice!!! The upshot was that our flight finally took off an hour later than planned (in the plane originally bound for Malaga), my last memory of Luton airport being a crowd of furious people upset that their holidays to Spain had been delayed for 4 hours!
As I spent most of Valentines night on an EasyJet flight I've decided to postpone it until Saturday and celebrate it in Cannes. You know how the French love the idea of romance, so I thought it would be a good idea to go to one of my favourite little restaurants with this view of the beach:
