So sorry for your loss.
Mods, much like the very worthwhile threads on (e.g.) dementia, might a thread on bereavement be beneficial? It might assist people hearing how others have navigated both the emotional side and the inevitable practicalities?

Many thanks to all who expressed their sympathy. I really appreciate it.
I will now be trying to build a new life without losing all the things we had.
I am fortunate in having a very supportive family.

As with all threads, it just needs someone to start them off.
Very sad news, really sorry for your loss.
If you lived around the corner I’d take you out for a pie & a pint, go watch a band or whatever…

I'd enjoy that. My son and his family have just returned from Seville. It sounded nice.

So sorry to hear this.
I can only imagine how I would feel, although mine did try twice during her gallbladder surgery back in 2024. The thoughts of losing her is too much to bear.

So sorry to read about your loss. Take care x
Just to tie up a previous post. We arrived at Schiphol ridiculously early and sailed through. The passport machines to leave are the same as the ones in the UK, scan passport, checks face. No fingerprint. Much simpler.
If that failed, the queue was pretty big but everyone seemed to be getting through.
The big question now, are my details saved properly on the system for next time I enter the EU? They are meant to be, but.............

Same. We also arrived over 2 hours before flight at Pisa yesterday, despite not needing to go to the checkin desk, after reports of significant delays there. So did lots of people.
They seemed to have turned all the tech off - guy just looked at our passports, us, stamped them and away you go. Through in about 10 minutes which meant a long but stress free wait by the gate. Not too fussed if I have to do the face/finger thing on the way in next time - getting to your destination a little later isn’t really an issue while your plane home flying off without you is.

Overuse of the word ‘offended’ on this forum. Just because someone disagrees with your point of view doesn’t mean they are offended.

My son has gone out and got himself another tattoo.
Now I have no problem with tattoos and have some myself but he just keeps getting random ones which have no meaning at all.
Today is a flame on his finger in case someone asks him for a light.
He has some really nice ones with meaning which is great but he has a lot more that mean nothing look rubbish and detract from his nice ones.

Friends arrived today. They’d been over in January at which time they’d gone through the new system, fingerprints etc. Sailed through today in 15 minutes.
I suspect when the system works it will actually be pretty quick. When we arrived there were lots of machines, the process took about a minute, no more. Then you go to the normal electronic gates. Great. The problem occurs when they don't work in some way. Then you are back to 2-3 customs officers processing X number of plane arrivals at once. That's when it takes 2 hrs plus to get through.
Just cross your fingers that the system works when you happen to be going through it, or somehow gets yourself a European passport
