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!
