Beautiful drive up the A77 coast road in a setting sun from Stranraer to Ayr last night.

My youngest (5 year old) daughter managed to swim a full 10metres under water yesterday. Considering she's petrified of evening getting her face wet in the bath and until only recently panicked if you so much as let got in the pool this is a massive achievement for her and was so proud of herself as was her Dad.
Also my oldest daughter (19) coming back today off her first holiday alone with her boyfriend. He's a nice enough lad but I csnt wait to have her back and hear what a good time she's had.

I posted recently on random irritation thread that our daughter had lost her motability payments due to her being able to walk around a 10m room......
We had an appointment with her physio whilst our appeal was being hear, we spoke to him to get some honest feed back. We felt she deserved it, but trusted him to say what he felt. He then got us to call our the person responsible for our reassessment whilst there and after a rather short conversation and a week, common sense has been seen and shes been granted what she deserves.
We actually got the letter yesterday, got back from picking her up early as she'd fallen asleep in class due to a hard days effort the day before with a school project.

Barley winning 2 rosettes at our 2nd agility competition - winning the full Agility and third in Steeplechase. We had four runs and he had four clears but for some time faults as he was sensible and slowed down in the heat! Daisy had four runs and had fun...if there was a prize for the cutest dog having a blast then it would be hers. So I completed 8 runs and didn't take a wrong turn once 
Do they give rosettes for owners with agile brains. To do it 8 times in that heat and keep the dogs moving well is a great feat. Well done to you but a big well done to those twoBarley winning 2 rosettes at our 2nd agility competition - winning the full Agility and third in Steeplechase.

Doggy sitting my mates Labradoodle Milo , what a beautiful dog with a great nature, but thank God it was only for 1 night.
Sadly our Millie didn't take to kindly his advances, we didn't have a quiet minute all day.
This is Milo when he arrived and this is our knackered Millie after he'd gone

It's been a gladdening day, 3 things have made today pretty awesome.
1. Won my first board comp at the club
2. Little one after her swimming adventures the other day, managed to 5 full lengths (20m pool) on her back all alone 😊
3. Seeing the Lancaster for the first time flying over the course during our presentation, absolutely stunning sight.
Wish I'd been quicker with the camera but managed to get these..

Not a bad day then. We had it come over Ascot with the Battle of Britain flight on the way to Windsor the other year and the sound it makes is amazing. Along with the Spitfire engine you could just feel the hairs on the neck and the arms stand up

Pretty good day indeed, we get the Spitfires over quite often as we're not far from Coningsby where they're based, absolutely love watching then I become a kid again and stand there in awe

I’ve played twice on a course right next to Farnborough air show, noisy but brilliant day. Think the course is closed now.

My old dad flew Lancasters out of Coningsby.... Got up to Lincolnshire last year to visit the new(ish) Bomber Command Memorial... Thought it was very apt it was set with a view across to the cathedral... As I know, from Dad, that was a view that became very special for aircrew returning from a mission...

That's awesome. I haven't visited Bomber Command yet but was thinking of taking my boys there perhaps next weekend when my dad comes up as he loves the RAF especially as his oldest brother was a pilot & his other brother an aircraft tech.
Looks quite cheap as well so may just take the whole family.

If you haven't made it there already... I'd highly recommend a visit to the Aviation Heritage Centre at East Kirkby... Particularly if you can make it on a day they taxy their Lancaster...
