Turning the corner

Weather-wise? Maybe. I checked Galinat again today on my way back from Intermarché and it was showing a definite improvement compared to the last time I saw it. The very top edge of the apron next to the road was still a bit soggy but even a metre or so in, the ground was much firmer. I’m not sure that it was quite firm enough to taxi, let-alone drive on, but I don’t think it was far off. The reason was that we have had one or two dryish days and yesterday especially was just what the doctor ordered, with a bit of sun and a brisk drying wind.

If anything, the runway was a bit firmer than the apron, although still not quite dry enough to start using on a regular basis, but another few days like the ones that we’ve had recently and we’ll be back in business. However, true to form, on my way back home, the dark clouds began to roll in and we had a short, sharp squally shower of rain. But it didn’t last too long and with a bit of luck, although it refreshed the mud between my back door and my wood store, I don’t think that it will have put the airfield back too far. So now it’s just a matter of waiting, hoping and keeping fingers crossed 😉
