Welcome home Colin.
You have been the epitome of restraint.
I've been quiet, following a flying lesson, yesterday.
It was a lovely morning and I felt like doing something in the garden.
After 2 pleasant hours , picking and pruning the olive tree, I knocked off for lunch, with about an other hour to do , afterwards.
My descent was much faster than my ascent..
That's when I realised I'm not any good at flight.
Shocked and bruised and too stiff to kick myself, I'm on light duties for a day or 2.
Typical early winter day today. 10 degrees at 8.30, breakfast and lunch outside

Mixed clouds and back down to 10 overnight.

I'm really sorry to hear that, Paul.
Take it easy and ease yourself back into things.

Sorry to hear that Paul not a lot fun trying to fly!..we’ve had lovely sunshine here today and it was quite warm if you stayed in the sun,but venture in the shade and it was chilly tonight though it’s a really heavy frost so hopefully that means another sunny day tomorrow

We're leaving the hotel soon and pottering up the coast to the airport, Dave.
Then it's that well known game of 'Will the Car Start?' in Gatwick.
Your photo really does emphasize the differences in climate.

Thanks, Paul.
We left Gran Canaria with an air temperature of 26°C.
We arrived in Gatwick with an air temperature of 3°C.
But.........it really does feel good to be back on the Beautiful Island.
The locals we spoke to on Gran Canaria (and on other islands in the group on previous holidays) said that the climate is obviously pleasant, but generally too predictable and constant.
You're probably aware that it's a very artificial environment and largely dependent on water purification installations. Just a few metres from man-made watering systems the islands tend to be pretty much desert or semi-arid in nature.
Quite unlike Hertfordshire!
