Kids off to school, thoroughly cuddled since I won’t see them for a week. Lift Chi Up. Packing. Train. Airport. Bag Drop. Security – cabin luggage chosen for random swabbing to detect explosive residues but no groping. I hate non-underwired bras but they certainly make it easier to get through security. The engineering marvels (cunningly disguised as wisps of silk and lace) I get from Rigby and Peller set off the damn machines every time. Mind you R&P were lingerie suppliers by Royal appointment to HRH the Queen Mother, so that gives an idea of the scale of challenge they are prepared to take on!
