Day off yesterday and I had arranged to go flying with Pete McAvoy.
Typical Irish weather at this time of year, all four seasons in one day!
Started off as a beautiful summer's morning and I was having lunch in Rick and Katie's back garden when we got word that the weather started to close in from the North. So we decided to leave right away and if flying was possible, to go south.
We took off at 1.30 and headed south down Strangford Lough and along the County Down coast to Newcastle and Kilkeel and then round the back of the Mournes and up home again. Flew into drizzle on the way back and landed in the rain.

Had a cup of coffee in the flying club and rang Bill and Catherine and arranged to meet them and Rita (who was visiting from Bangalore), at the "Odyssey" for a meal. Archie had booked a table for 10 and we were joined by a few others. Nice meal and another good day out.
