We are still in Debdale.  Paul has fitted the new fan belt so all good there.  We are waiting for the workshop  to fit a new chimney on the stern. We are hoping that they get to us soon as we are a bit of a way from shops etc here.  Kibworth isn’t too far but it means cycling on the A6 so I am not so keen.  Meanwhile it has been an eventful week.  We hired a car Tue to Thu as on Wednesday I had my Christmas present from Paul.  A flying lesson.  This was from Cranfield Airfield near Milton Keynes.  When we booked it we had planned to cruise there over the last few weeks, however that didn’t quite work out, hence the car hire.  It was postponed one week due to weather, but happily this time it was fine.  Quite a lot of cloud around, but I just kept flying towards the spots of sunshine!  It was awesome.  I was exhilarated and terrified both at the same time.  At one point there was some fine snow coming towards the cockpit and the trainer took over and flew us away from it.  Just when I was really starting to enjoy myself it was time to head back. L  Just a well though as we had been landed only about half an hour when there was a blizzard.  Only lasted about 5 minutes but came down very heavily in that time.
Today we are going to friends Miggie and Dave for lunch, they are coming to pick us up bless them.  Barry, Leyanne and Matt will be there too so looking forward to that.  Meanwhile we are hoping that next week we get our work done as we are keen to get on the move again.
So with some luck my next post will be from a different location. Over and out!
