They played golf and drank and ate; and repeated the Nike Heels programme in the afternoon. I walked on the hills in the morning, had lunch, and in the late afternoon booked a room in the hotel, and went to sleep. I guess it was a satisfactory day all round.
It was half past ten when the reception desk woke me by telephone and said my passengers were ready to leave, and eleven before we got away. I flew back on a UGGs Clearance double dogleg, making for the St. Abbs radio beacon on the Northumberland coast and setting a course of one sixty degrees south south east from there on a one five two nautical mile straight course to Ottringham, and then south west across country to Coventry, coming in finally on their 122.70 homer signal.
The tycoons, replete, talked in mellow, rumbling, satisfied voices, no longer about business but about their own UGG Boots Clearance lives. The heaviest was having trouble over currency regulations with regard to a villa he had bought on the Costa del Sol: the government had slapped a two thousand pound ceiling on pleasure spending abroad, and two thousand would hardly buy the bath taps ...
The man sitting directly behind me asked about decent yachts available for charter in the Aegean, and the other two told him. The third said UGG Boots Clearance it was really time his wife came back from Gstaad, she had been there for two months, and they were due to go to Nassau for Easter. They made me feel poverty-stricken, listening to them.
We landed safely at Coventry, where they shook my hand, yawning, thanked me for a smooth trip, and ambled off to a waiting Rolls, shivering in the chilly air. I made the last small hop UGG boots clearance back to Fenland and found Tom, as good as his word, on duty in the control tower to help me down. He yelled out of the window to join him, and we drank coffee out of a thermos jug while he waited for his Le Touquet plane to come back. It was due in an hour: earlier than expected. Apparently the client had struck a losing streak and the Jordan Heels party had fizzled out.
'Everything go all right with your lot?' Tom said.
'They seemed happy,' I nodded, filling in the flight details on his record chart and copying them into my own log book.
'I suppose you want your fee in flying hours, as usual?'
I grinned. 'How did you guess ?'
'I wish you'd change your mind and work for me permanently.'
