A Bit of Nature...

At the field where we fly, we are so lucky to see some of the nature out there. One of the things I love doing (as you've most probably guessed) is taking photo's and I take lots of them. I never go to the field without my camera, if I had the chance I'd take it everywhere with me.

Tip - Click on the pictures to make them blow up to their original size.

The first pic is of a beautiful Butterfly who seemed to enjoy posing for me.

Here, the farmer is harvesting his field and in the back ground is a Lavender field. Oh how I wish I could have walked in that Lavender! Isn't it beautiful?
I was so very lucky to get so close to this rabbit. In Spring there were loads of Rabbits. All hopping from burrow to burrow and out to eat the grass. But then some nasty Poachers came along and shot them all. So right now, there are no rabbits left on this field. :(


Back in Spring I was so very lucky to get a few feet from a Badger. I had to move so slow. It had come out for a drink. As I was approaching I got to take these pictures of it. I found this experience amazing.

Here's a short video I took of the Badger as I was approaching it. I stood back to get this shot of it, but I did manage to get closer. The video is not good quality as I took it with my phone. How I wish I had my video camera back then!

Thank you Pamela. I love those pics too. They're my favourite also. The Lavender Field looks like a river flowing in the back ground, it's so beautiful.

Depression

I've decided to do this post as I want to reach out to people who are suffering with depression. I myself have gone through depression, at this moment I am coming out of it, it's been a long dark lonely phase of my life. I believe it started in 2007, one thing seemed to happen one after another. In the end I just couldn't cope and my depression became full blown. I tried so hard to battle it on my own. When I first realised I was suffering with depression, my first reaction was panic, as I knew it meant something was wrong. I was supposed to be this strong loving wife to my husband and a strong and supportive loving mother to my children. On the outside I could hide it and pretend all was okay, where as on the inside I was a complete and utter nervous wreck who was crying out for help. The biggest mistake I did to cope was to use alcohol. I used it to hide away from my problems. It was my way of shutting it out. Of course alcohol can make you feel good at the time, but it&#

Joe's First Flight.

Image
Click the picture to see its full size. While we were at the Imperial War Museum at Duxford, we were thrilled to find out they had tutor flights on offer. Our 12 year old son Joe, wants a career in the RAF as a pilot, and is also going to join the Air Cadets this summer. We want to do all we can to encourage him with his ambition and so we made sure he would get his chance to be in the sky. He often practices with Flight Sims, if you think that's easy, think again. It's not and basically it's a simulation of a real aircraft. The best thing of all was it was in one of Joe's (and one of all of our favourite planes) favourite planes, the Tiger Moth. We booked him a flight and at 12:45pm, he went for a 15 minute flight where he was able to take the controls in that time and fly it himself. He was so nervous, but also so excited. Here he was living out his dream. It was his first time in an Airplane and much more special that it was in a Tiger Moth. His dad and I were on t

Carden Yak 54 Maiden

Hi all, Well, we recently maidened our new plane. Thankfully it was a success! :) Before we maiden a plane it is a bit stressful, as you never know just how well the plane will fly. We have had a one which didn't make it after the maiden, mainly because the tail was warped a bit. Anyway enough of that. I'm talking about our new plane. :) She was a success and here's the video of her maiden. :) Oh yes and hubby got carried away with the text as he put this movie together. :) Also, just want to wish everyone a Very Merry Xmas!!!!!
