We had so many stories this morning of valiant attempts to get home. The ash cloud saga has lead to a series of amazing tales of fortitude, imagination and frustration!

Gloucestershire inventor Vivian Blick joined me this morning from China... he will feature heavily this week!

His attempt to get home involves... a flight from Hong Kong to Dubai... Dubai to North Africa... a helicopter or boat from North Africa to Europe... then trains and cars through Europe to a French ferry port... ferry to England.

Here are some of the comments that have come in over the last few days.

Joan knows someone in the Cayman Islands who is a teacher and is due at work today. She might not be able to get a flight until next Sunday. She doesn't know if she will get paid or if she'll be covered by the insurance.

Jenny in Northleach says what about those stranded in America? Her son, daughter in law and 2 grandchildren were due back last Friday. They flew from Miami to New York for a better chance of a flight home... but they are still stuck in a hotel.

Robert asks what happens at work if you can't get back home? Could your firm dismiss you?

June made it back just in time on Wednesday. If she had booked the later flight she would have missed the birth of her eldest daughter's bouncing baby boy!

On Tuesday we will look at the implication for business and schools. Join us at Renishaw and Balcarras... and if you have any other ash related stories... cummings@bbc.co.uk
