Judith eating a sandwich before going for a swim in the gorge.What’s this country coming to? More rubbish forecasting. It was supposed to be light and variable, but mostly south, which is good. We have not actually flown since we left the UK, so it seemed about time we got our feet off the ground. People were off to fly El Mont, but we decided to do some work first and then head out to Santa Brigida later.

I didn’t really pay much attention to what was happening outside the window, so it came as a bit of a shock to feel the wind once we got outside. We drove as far as Olot (where it was howling) and then phoned Marc to get a report of local conditions. He confirmed that it was equally windy there. It was too late to go to the beach, so we headed for the gorge at Sadernes, for late lunch and a swim.

The front has come in now and it has completely clouded over. Tomorrow it should be raining, so lots of work in store and still no flying!
