And about time too!

It looks as though the long spell of bad weather that we’ve been experiencing for the past several weeks is at last approaching its end. A bit more rain is expected up to the coming Friday but as from Saturday it looks as though our weather will start to get back on track. As well as then having at least a week without rain to look forward to, or at most just a few odd spots every now and again, temperatures next week should also start climbing up to highs of around 16 or 17 degrees Celsius, which will be nice.

This is great news, because it will mean that as well as being able to get some flying in in ASY, I should also be able to get the covers off 56NE and make sure that it’s tidy and in good shape to be advertised for sale. It was still looking OK when I last checked after the work I did last year in preparation for our west coast tour, despite the awful weather it had been standing out in under its covers over the winter. So hopefully I won’t need to do much to it before placing an ad on Le Bon Coin and I’ll be able to find a buyer for it without too much delay as the weather improves. I mean, owning a gaggle of ULMs is fun, but it isn’t what I intended!

I’d also like to think that I’ll be able to move ASY over to the barn at Malbec so it is under shelter out of the weather. However, I’ll have to wait and see as that will depend on whether Philippe manages to finish repairing his hangar roof or not.
