Silence is golden


Noise-cancelling headphones.

An oxymoron surely – but no,  apparently a must-have for any long haul flight.  Armed with this vital piece of aviation know-how, we head off to Hardly Normal this morning.  Minutes later, we head out as the proud new owners of a set of travel headphones, complete with their own wee bag!

This latest innovation, my IT husband assures me, will block out all ambient noise, particularly the drone of the aircraft’s engines.  What about the drone of nearby 20 month old infants?  Surely, that is a more appealing and marketable feature!
