Yes I've been enjoying looking at what and when is expected!

Camp site booked.

Tent up in back garden to check all is well.

Catering trip to supermarket planned.

All going well so far! ;)

I am indeed slumming it in the FRIAT grandstand Ian along with Bensmum and Bovril ;)
My vid from yesterday , this was all the footage I could salvage due to the rain but capturing the B2 was worth it [and predictably it stopped raining and became sunny a few minutes after she touched down ~x( ] :D

Everything was great despite the weather....

I especially liked the way you held the image
of the B-2 all the way through :ymapplause:

Thank You, Paul!

I like to do my planning retroactively!
