Very nice job there. Great photos ^
I recently completed 2 BA F sectors and on neither flight did the CSD do any kind of visit (not too bothered about that TBH).
Like you, I experienced a 'reactive crew' - great service up to the dessert course and then BANG - nothing. No coffee, liquers, chocolates. I cleared my own plate away.
It seems that as you hit the 2 hour mark, the crew just down tools and then reappear for the tea service.
Most F pax appreciate a quiet cabin but BA sometimes takes this too far.

Thank you for your recent comments, can't believe it was nearly a year a go!
For ALL pics that do not include images of aircraft either inside or out credit must go to Mrs Noniron!
My dearest Mrs Noniron has no comprehension of TR's, I can't even entice her to take a look at an SFO777 luxury or an Eightblack funny, not even a Matthandy! Never mind all the others who post and write on this board, to her it is lost!
To this day she has never looked at this (a good thing perhaps!) nor the Menorcan TR this Autumn.

Three bottles of red wine a bottle of Bushmills! 
Seriously though, the planning was quite enjoyable. Trying to work out a route that would allow us to see everything that we wanted in our time frame was challenging, but hey we're F'ters and like that king of thing!
Probably spent month on it total but that was just taking a look at it every now and then when I had some spare time.

Thank you JMNMEL, plenty of trips since this one but mostly family holidays!
I did this TR on Menorca after the West Coast if you fancy a read......
