The British Airways cabin crew strike provided a bit of on board entertainment for us today.  Upon check in, a blue coated agent warned us that there would be no hot food during flight  due to the industrial action. Cold meals were forecasted for the Trans Atlantic crossing and cabin crew were at a minimum. She gave us two $9 food vouchers for ordering a take-away at the Denver airport and said to keep, "your camera handy during the flight". She told us that cockpit crew would serve as cabin crew on some BA flights.

Sure enough we took our seats and once we had leveled off senior officer and Royal Air Force pilot Captain Stacy asked, "what could I get you to drink today?"  The experience was definetly a first in our flying history, to be served by a pilot instead of a steward! He was a bit on the slow side but quite friendly, stopping to have an indepth conversation with each passenger. "My wife's not gonna believe this," he commented while serving Mark a rather pitiful cup of instant coffee. "Now I'll have to help out more at home."  Though we were amused cold food is still cold food no matter who serves it!

Five am is wake up time on Tuesday. Mark & I will drive out of London and pick up our friend Jenny then head up to Lincoln Cathedral.  We're so excited to see the first venue where we'll do the live worship recording.

The RESTORE project begins!
