Listen to the Wind....

Weathered in at St Omer the welcome could not be better or the winds worse. I am sitting here listening to the hanger doors rattle in the 35 - 45 mph winds. Certainly not flying weather, so we brew 3 in 1 from Kenco and look again at the weather maps, synoptics and forecast for the days ahead.

There is a relative "lull" down to 15- 25 mph winds tomorrow, with no significant weather and so that is our chance to cross the channel and make it home. Tonight it's a waiting game with little to do save for contemplate what tomorrow will bring.

The great news is that I shall be home tomorrow regardless!!! If the weather does not play ball we will simply slip onto the ferry and borrow another favoir from one of our long suffering friends or relatives and ask them to pick us up.

Being stuck is an odd mix of expectation, frustration and time to think.

I have fueled for a 4 hour Flint home! That same flight usually takes 2 hours, And in 20 minutes I shall start to pack the trike before dinner.....and beer ro two and a night on the hanger floor! Deep joy.

As for now the coffee tastes good and Kim Wild is on the radio taking me back 25 years, what happy years they have been.
