    Yes, I think he's having a short break. Wouldn't catch me on a ferry in this weather :eek:

    ......I start my flying lessons next week :eek::eek: I have a few classroom lessons before I take to the skies. I'm wondering now if I should've waited until spring :o

    Wow flying lessons, that is impressive! :cool:

    . I do think a chaise lounge is a good description of you though. Stylish yet comfortable and laid back :)

    May the odds be ever in your favour;)

    One of those things Ive always wanted to do. I'm using my dad fund to pay for it. He always wanted to do it.......I'm not quite sure at all why he didn't? He used to go on about it. I guess he just never got round to it?

    Am so determined to finish life with an empty list of things I wanted to do, but never did :D

    Next door but one's apple tree came down this morning, so hoping to get some small logs from that (we just have a little wood burner). Saddened to see on the news this evening that someone was killed in Watford by a falling tree. It happened just a few hundred yards from where my inlaws live :(

    That's so sad HG. The weather is so powerful and can cause such destruction. I feel blessed on this occasion that it hasn't affected us badly.

    Get a chainsaw........it's very liberating :)
