Thanks, Julian. ?Must admit to having a little lump in my throat when I looked out the kitchen window around lunch time, just in time to see the Red Arrows flying out from the airport in formation, making for pastures new. ?

I did wonder what it would be like to be part of their team, not an actual pilot, thank you very much ? (nerves couldn't take it), but one of the entourage. ?Must be a great life swanning around the world as a cog in a very successful and much admired wheel. ?Wouldn't happen though as I'm a mere female. ? ?

I must get out more.

As an aside, one of the team, a doctor, was complaining bitterly that someone had nicked his Falklands T shirt out of his room. ?Obviously someone souvenir hunting. ? ?::) ?Off with his hand!
