Things That Gladden The Heart

[Doon frae Troon]

Lady Doon going out for her first proper outing since lockdown.
Full length of Turnberry Beach and back.
Social distancing was easy with the 7 other folk and the 2 dogs,
Beautiful day too so her new camera was in action
She took a nice photo of a lost buoy on the beach.

This made me smile... Whilst watching a program about building Bentley cars and being informed... "No female bull hides are used for the making of the upholstery"...

On the day of the funeral of Dame Vera Lynn a Spitfire did a loop de loop over our house, probably on the way back from the Battle of Britain Memorial Folkestone

East Hams finest RIP......I saw what I thought was a Spitfire landing at Duxford this evening, I wonder if it was the same one?

I doubt it, we have pretty much daily Spitfire flights over us coming out of either Headcorn or Biggin Hill and flying to, and from, the Battle of Britain Memorial or the BofB museum. Rarely a day goes by that it doesnt pass over us.

I'm lucky to be based at RAF Coningsby home of the BBMF, the Spitfire, Hurricane and Lancaster all took off from here early yesterday to fly down and take part in the memorial fly past for Dame Vera, they really are an awesome sight to behold as they take off, manoeuvre in flight and the sound of those merlin engines is simply phenomenal.

Am lucky enough to work with the guys that fly them and a tour of the BBMF I'd say is a must if you visit Lincolnshire.

Watching the couple on the next pitch to us on their first outing in their caravan ??

 

[Mandofred]

Shot into 18 from 97 yards. Nice swing.....stuck it about 8 feet from hole. Couple guys that finished earlier and standing on the clubhouse balcony clapped and whooped. Almost like having fans.......

Hearing that some friends of ours are finally going to have a baby after years of trying and several rounds of IVF treatment

 

[Beezerk]

Looking back at old photos and remembering when you used wrap the laces of your footy boots under and around the boots.
Aaah those were the days.

 

[Slime]

My twin brother recovering from Covid.
He had a positive test but only suffered with a sore throat for one day!
One of the lucky ones.

 

[Orikoru]

My dad saying he actually wants to play golf again! He all but gave up a couple of years ago after a particularly shocking round. Not much beats playing a round with the old man.

I'm playing with my 37 year old son on Tuesday for the first time in ages and feel exactly the same the other way round

There aren't many places where you can say that and get away with it.
