Who’d have believed it

I’ve just realised that it’s a year to the day since I flew my X-Air 24ZN (formerly G-BYPW) over the Channel from south-east England to its new home here in the Dordogne.

My goodness, I can hardly believe how much has happened in my life since then, all of which was totally unforeseen at the time. I’ve had virtually no time in the intervening period to fly either it or my Savannah F-JHHP but since then I’ve sold my house, bought a beautiful piece of land in Fleurac, have conceived my own plans for a new house to put on it and found a brilliant local contractor who will be building it for me. All in all, I’m about to embark on one of the most exciting new phases in my whole life.

And to think that I came here for a quiet retirement… 😉
