We had a very relaxing day today. Jane did the washing and I worked on the blog, which needed catching up. An added bonus of this site is that it has free WiFi Internet access and we were able to listen to BBC radio and browse the Internet at will.
In the afternoon I wander across the road and sat in the small café watching the planes take off and land in rapid succession. The gliders were being launched by winch or towed up by two light aircraft, there was even one powered glider, using its engine for take-off before switching it off to become a true glider. In the distance, hang gliders circled the edge of a large hill – there was never a dull moment.
