Buckinghamshire Connections
19th July 2024 At around 5am local time, my plane touched down in London. I hadn’t really slept on the plane. I had plenty of legroom, but I was squeezed into my seat between two other men who were slightly smaller than me. It made me happy to be on the ground again, headed through…
