Wheeeeeeeeeeeee


Hello Everyone

An earlier blog than for a little while but then my mistress has done something really rather exciting - and she managed to take pictures too

Mistress Winter went gliding!!. I couldn't go but as promised she took pictures to show me and I heard her commentery over the twilight bark zone. My mistress is not great with any kind of actual travel so the idea of flying in an aircraft with no engine was somthing of a challenge.

It was an event set up by a local business club Mistress Winter belongs to and originally she had booked for Himself to go only but a day earlier she found that the organiser had made a mistake and booked them both in to fly. My mistress thought about it for a few minutes and then decided to face the worry and see if she could get over it. After all she had flown since she was three in tiny island aircrafts which seemed little more than taxi's with wings.

As it happened nerves about flying weren't the problem. It was motion sickness. My mistress hadn't flown for a while going everywhere by train or road and it wasn't until she was getting into the glider that she remembered that she sometimes used to get sick. Definately nothing you could do about it at that point - not even worth mentioning - so she didn't.





Take off veiw




Somewhere over Mixlow


When she came down she did look a rather interesting shade of green and everyone congratulated her on being brave but, as she told me it wasn't the ascent and flying she was proud of so much as not throwing up over the pilot. That took some doing. She and I were very pleased to see each other afterwards.

Anyway hope you enjoyed the pictures - apparently the next outing is tank driving. My mistress says she's looking forward to that event much more!!.

Meanwhile take care of yourselves and your owners

Crickey!
You kept that one quiet!
Good for you - I've always fancied going gliding for the qiet - it's got to be the closest thing there is to being a free flying bird.

Love, pats & pets

Goodness what an adventure! Mommy's quite sure that she'd be more than a light shade of green - clearly your Mistress is a brave woman!
