Heathrow is a far, far quieter place, though much busier than any other airport in the UK - which is either a good thing or very disconcerting depending on how you look at it, with a 3rd wave of the dreaded Covid all but guaranteed to hit these shores in a couple of months at most.
GWR to Paddington, 2 of us in the carriage I was in; parked up beside the Heathrow Express - only me in my compartment, the others were up the other end of the train for the 15 mins jaunt.
Terminal 2 is huge, and with T3 and T4 shut, there's a few folks milling about but many many gaps. And the walk to the hotel - not a soul. An empty corridor where you could hear a pin drop.
Now installed in my room. Three hours after leaving Bath via central London - that's pretty good.
The dinner menu means you phone down, they give you a time and then you collect it for munching in the room.
Limited menu for me, and I'm starving. Should have picked up stuff before leaving Paddington, but here I am!
So soup - it's asparagus (leave the roll), Caesar salad with chicken on top then a cheese plate, leave the biscuits and a ½ bottle of wine to make it palatable. Have cashews with me and other bits as I know the breakfast to Paris tomorrow on the 0615 Air France connector will be a croissant or 12....
I'm hopeful at Paris in the lounge, there'll be something...if not, my diet is going to go well
Hope all's well with all of you

in them these parts.
