With Dougal to Fenland

Dougal and I are old flying buddies now - we go on lots of trips together :-) We went to Fenland today - hey Dougal I’ve been here before and I know where to go! Oooh it was a bumpy ride - rather windy, but it’s ok coz I kept us steady :-) It amazes me when we fly around the fens coz everything is just so flat and there seem to be less trees than in Suffolk or Norfolk :-) Dougal and I had a nice cup of tea in the clubhouse and chatted to fellow aviators. I wanted to go and have a go in the playground but Dougal wouldn’t let me - we didn’t have enough time! We then headed for home hoping that the weather had improved… but it was still bumpy! ATC told us to report “field in sight!” - “Wilco” said Dougal - hey I’ve got it… so I reported field in sight while Dougal was still looking… I’m getting good at this flying lark!! Back on the ground at Norwich I had the chance to build my muscles again - putting planes back in the hanger!!
