Flying tonight

“The Guide says there is an art to flying", said Ford, "or rather a knack. The knack lies in learning how to throw yourself at the ground and miss.”
Douglas Adams : Life, the universe and Everything

And so today another Bucket List item bites the dust; better add a few more before Life thinks I'm coming to the end of my list and decide there's nothing left for me.
A really unexpected and wonderful surprise when aunt C invites us to join her and uncle J on a helicopter ride.  I didn't need to think about it, a definite yes.  I was pleasantly surprised when K said it was also on her Bucket List, so another definite there and off we go.
It was a real surprise to me how comfortable and relaxing the whole trip was, not at all like flying.  Just sat back in the comfy chair and suddenly we were airborne, like floating up on a cushion of air.  And the view from the cockpit is tremendous, just right for photos.
K thinks our holidays are going to get expensive, with helicopter rides wherever they are on offer!
