Guess where we were today - yes…Earls colne, i managed o get a flight to stapleford (another new airfield fot the logbook). I went in a PA28 G-SACI & took Deb’s pink headset - ok i didn’t wear it, but it went with the passenger it was a good light & we managed to get something to eat & drink!!! ON the way back we had tailwind so it was quicker…my last flight of 2007 it was nice cos some passengers children & im a children in need bear…it was then time to celebrate the end of 2007. Ben went to a friends New Years party, so just me & Deb’s saw the end of the year through together. Can’t believe i started the year so nervous - what marvellous year though, thankyou to everyone who have been with or bought tickets

Quiet sunday today - no panto practice & also no flying…cmon guys i just want a few more hours…We spent alot of today sorting out the tickets & Nigel made a spreadsheet with everyone’s name & no. who had bought a ticket. We also had to seperate the ticket strips for the raffle & it aint easy with paws like mine!!! We also put my photo’s into the album today - with my photo’s from Conningsby (in the eurofighter) & of christmas day - nice tree!!! I’ve got almost 3 full albums amazing!!! My new family will have great fun looking at my photo’s, i’ll have to explain most of them though aha!! It’ll be fun telling the stories & maybe i can get some more to tell Deb’s

It’s really the end of 1007, so we took a trip down memory lane to Norwich airport to see our Featherbys friends!!! We had a nice flight in G-CECN & Andria had a nice flight as she had all our christmas prezzies there. Ben & Mattie got a tin of chocolate each (but i got my eye on them). Deb’s got lots of stuff for her flight case from Nigel ….so i guess we’ll make a pilot out of her yet…Nigel & Deb’s went bargain shopping in Norwich so i stayed with Emily & Elliott - they showed me their presents. Dale got a talking Dalek fro Doctor Who, & Scarlett is getting prettier, she looks like her mum The weather was getting bad & we didn’t know if would get home & who would turn Elmsett lights on It was ok though, Tony put the lights on & Victoria listened in on her walky-talky

Poor Deb’s had to work today, whilst me & NIgel were off back to Earls colne. We flew with Carolyn the cash, as she had run out of hours flying time & needed to do a check flight with NIgel in G-BZHF - she’s ok (for a woman) - i’m nly joking, bu i might be in trouble with Deb’s & Carolyn now Carolyn loves them Cessna’s & keep telling me that…i couldn’t tell her that i prefer low wings, flying a YAK & that haha!! i sound like Nigel now I have to think of a new name for Carolyn now, as she is teacher now & doesn’t work for Earls Colne - must get my thinking cap on…Wonder if she’ll be my new mum, necause she got lot’s of tickets (she may give me detention though) i can’t believe this year is almost over, it’s been so great

Christmas is finished & it’s back to Earls colne, which we can’t stay away from. I even got a few more flights for my logbook…i went up in G-OJRM with James O’Neil - he’s the nice Scotts bloke who Deb’s & Andria like…Andria defo likes him as he fixed her christmas lights the other week. We went to do some practise landings at Elmsett…hey James i can help you land, as i’ve landed here loads of times Next me, Nigel & Deb’s flew in G-BZET so that Deb’s can practise her circuits, which she is getting the hang of - shame i’m not here for when she does her actual test. Deb’s has had a tough year with the weather & cancelled lessons, even in Earls colne the weather’s been poor…next year will be better Deb’s i pormise

Noisy day today, as Mattie & Ben were home with their dad after CHristams day - & the lucky boys had lot’s of toys to play with. They got mainly things for their games consoles like the PS3 etc. some of the games on the PS3 were really real, it scared me Debs had put chocolates on the tree, but i found it difficult to find them, i guess Mattie beat me to it. Deb’s was still hoping for her YAK flight but JB was still in maintenance getting its permit liscence…I hope i get to fly in JB, mind you my new family could be the Featherbys which means i can go YAk flying i’d still see Nigel & Deb’s & would spend alot of time at Norwich airport

Merry Christmas everyone, & after all that hype it was quite a relaxing day :), i needed it after this flying year aswell. Father Christmas visiting my stocking last night & left my a sock full of stuff, sweets, chocolate & even some beary special gifts (haha) We had really lovely day, chilling out watching tv & the best bit was that Nigle cooked Deb’s was slightly angry though because it wasn’t a white christmas, oh well - she’ll learn. She was happier when she found out Mattie had bought her the last book she needs to take her PPL liscense. I guess she had better get a move in taking her exams then - but i dont think i can help, it’s too complicated…I think i’ll stick to display flying, but i wonder where i’ll be next year - i hope it’s at a flying family

WoooHooo!!! Christmas eve & we went to earls colne…Nigle hired G-BYSG & we went to do some circuits with Deb’s - again she was good - & it was a good day to fly…i even looked for father christmas but i couldn’t see him When Deb’s wasn’t flying, she was eating the chocolates on the front desk It was quite busy as people were trying to squeeze in 1 last flight before christmas. Then it was time to go back & get ready for father christmas!!! i hung up my stocking & left out a glass of coke & a mince pie for father christmas & went to bed early…but i couldn’t sleep, i was to busy thinking about riding in santa’s sleigh. I wonder what i will get for christmas, i bet mattie & ben aren’t asleep yet either.

Nother non-flying day…but it was a very christmasy day as there is only 2 dyas to go!!! We went carol singing tonight - & what a voice i have - i know all the words & can join in with everything Poor Deb’s, she won’t get her white christmas this year, even though she really wants one. There’s a few christmas traditions i like - sausage rolls & mince pies…”yum yum” i seem to have had a fare share already before christmas,…to me it seems as if christmas is all about food - turkey, christmas pud, sweets & chocolate & that’s without the alcohol…
Our tree at home looks real good & Deb’s even got some new baubles & lights on it - one bauble is a mustang one & is no surprise to see it at the top of the tree

A flying free day - how strange!! Deb’s had to get her hair cut today & she went mad, she had loads cut off. Glad i didn’t go - i could have ended up with a skin-head like Nigel Debs was fed-up as town was crowded with all the last minute christmas shoppers!!! Nigel had to update my website & it was great it’s amazing how much i get done in a year. I kept wondering who my family would be next year & what i would be doing. I hope they’re a flying family so that i can go flying i hope a member of the flying club wins me, either at an airport or Earls colne, because then i’ll defiently stay in colse contact with planes I know Emily wants to win me, so then i’ll be Norfolk bear (i’d rather be a suffolk bear though)
