@JPB,
Morning Crew

Gosh - looks like there some's hot air in here.

Ah well, no worries Very Happy Someone's been doing it a while on my posts - but hey ho! You folk know me so... they can think what they like.

Tulip will be over in a mo and then we'll hopefully be off. Waiting to see to see what the wind conditions are like, gotta phone them in about 15 mins - it's about 20 deg already with a slight breeze here - so it's looking good to go for 1pm. They cater for "access" and say there's no probs with me not walking too well etc - but today, walking is A-OK. Can't wait.

As for summerdaze - well, I'll go enjoy mine and best of luck to you.




Catchya later crew - fingers crossed for good conditions and planning on taking some pics whilst up there.


(((((RH, Bill, jw, JPB))))) thanku.

((BEAgle)) - thinking of you darlin' - talk to you later.

((Blue)) ((Mis)) et al xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx

@Barry The Mod,
Hey Hey Baz

Wellllllllllllllllllllllllllll - conditions are "wind in the wrong direction" at the coast for a jump off the cliff flight which would have been a half hour flight... soooooooooooooo... plan is, we are going to drive down (Redruth area) and hoping to get 2 towed flights in each (they only last around 3 minutes each but you get up to 500 ft). They can't guarantee anything 'til we get there - so it all depends on the wind - plan is for 2pm now Very Happy If S-boy wants a go - then he'll have the opportunity too - he's always wanted to be a bird.



Soooooooooooooooooooooooo - we're now singing

So here we are at Hells Mouth Shocked way down there in Cornwall

It was definitely CLOUD 9 ... http://www.flycloud9.co.uk/index.php?id=7

Meet Graham

http://i277.photobucket.com/albums/kk41/LzzieIzzie/whatever/DSC05042.jpg

Tulip was first up " she had two flights " then moi into the harness and two flights " we had asked if the kids could go up, but this time, because the wind was changing and they had a bunch of students there that they had to get up, the kids couldn’t fly " but they will next time. The people were incredibly nice, very kind and really supportive ... it really was a very special day.



I did take the camera up with me... thought I was videoing " but obviously double pressed and only caught the landing Rolling Eyes " such a shame (doh)" the view was breathtaking, truly. (Have a VOB video but no idea how to upload it or convert it). (click screen if ya wanna peek)

http://i277.photobucket.com/albums/kk41/LzzieIzzie/whatever/th_P1030998.jpg

The kids were fantastic too " very encouraging and proud " they had a great time on the beach afterwards whilst Tulip and I stayed at the top of the cliffs for a bit of a rest. Got back home late and S-boy has gone over to Tulip’s for a sleepover.

FQsis and family are all back safe and sound up country, long hot journeys back, but safe " missing them already and hoping we’ll get together very soon.

All in all, it’s been a fab half term. Weekend ahead " gonna have a quiet day tomorrow I reckon " then back to school on Monday and then sailing on Tuesday with the kids from school " gonna have to reschedule surgeons appointment... hmmmmm

Tired tonight, achey and coughy " but good tired Very Happy Very happy for such a great week - Cloud 9.

@summerdaze,
What's the matter summerdaze? Too chicken to post under your normal A2K ID? You sound highly confused. Sort of like someone that doesn't know if they should scratch their watch or wind their butt. We could all only wish to be half the person that Izzie is under adversity. Stop being jealous of her and get a life already. For gawd's sake. You are nauseating.

Just stopping by to give my missed crew a hug and a smootch. Upcoming finals next week have me more than just a tad exhausted. I feel like I don't even wanna stand on my feet today. It's that bad. Ugh! So tired. So tired. So tired.

Izzie - I am so jealous that you got to go paragliding! I did that a few years ago. Just want to do it again. It was so peaceful to glide across the sky like a bird. I could feel your excitement in your posts and see it in your pictures. How sweet!! I love you.

Tulip - What beautiful kids!! Just like their Momma!

Ok, gotta get back to work.

(((((( Crew )))) Have a nice day/weekend.
xo
Love

Stormwatch
