Oh dear......did anyone tell the weather that it's August?
A dull week of grey......lots of Oxford and Shenington GC members hanging around drinking tea on Tuesday hoping for improvements, while the midweek crew got on with training. By Wednesday morning most of our visitors had given it up for a bad job and had gone home to do something else. John & I headed to Sudeley Castle in the rain for a change, having (finally - after 22 years!) visited Upton House on the Tues afternoon. We were most interested to view Eric's field from the main house instead of the air - the NT visitors must have got a prime view of Eric completing his 300km. More rain forecast for Thursday, though mostly drizzle at the airfield. Leslie came to fly and get more familiar with cable breaks and spinning with Bruno - she had a profitable day. Lucy meanwhile had broken down in Wales and was unable to get back to sort out her trailer ready for the juniors.
On Friday there was more dull weather, though fine for training thank goodness. Patrick turned up to get some more instruction while John & I finally cracked and cleaned H20's trailer of about 5 years worth of mould. (Looks like a new trailer, and also looks quite smart now amongst the rest of the mould in the trailer park!). Lucy finally made it back in the evening and headed off South to the junior nationals with Robb Batty in tow. Fingers crossed that the weather improves but the jet stream seems to be sitting in the channel and doesn't look great.
