No flying off the handle with slow travel

The Swedish word ‘flygskam’ means ‘flight shame’. I think of this word – the only Swedish word I know apart from Ikea — as I fly over Sweden, its million tiny lakes reflecting back up at me, on my way back from somewhere even further away.

Oh dear. Still, at least my lunch is vegan. Although being realistic, a plastic portion of plant-based plane food is unlikely to offset the flight’s quarter ton of carbon emissions per hour. Oh dear.
