Went flying today. I had hoped to pop into Stow Maries, but no-one answered the phone to give PPR. 
Instead I headed off for Andrewsfield for lunch. The weather was 15 gusting 21 mph, but straight down the strip, so takeoff was very quick, I just had time to lift the tail before the wheels left the ground! Boy was it bumpy up there! I tried several heights, but they were all the same, so after 15 minutes, I turned around and headed back. I know I love flying, but corkscrewing around the sky is not fun. Weather does not look good for Saturday, so I will just have to wait for better weather.
A video blog of the trip.

Hi Ian,
Thanks for the kind comments, I am glad you enjoyed it. Writing the blog is half the fun of the the flying. Every now and then I look back and reminisce on the fun we have had. My blog/diary now goes back 8 years! though the older stuff is all on paper as I have not added it here.
Hi Tony,
Loved the video with narration. I don’t know what England weather is like but when we have puffy clouds like you did, it’s usually bumpy under them and smooth on top. But I generally don’t like to fly that high.
Hi Scott, Yes it is the same here in the UK, however, where I was flying is limited to 3500′ ceiling, so I could not get safely above them and still guarantee to stay below the lower airway
