365 Days of Happy – Month 10

Another month has flown by, and I had half of it as my Christmas holiday. It was so nice to have a decent amount of time off to recharge my batteries! I can’t believe I have just two months left of being in my 20s. Here are my photos from this month’s 365 Days of Happy challenge.

Day 277

A beautiful rainbow at the airfield – the most impressive I’ve seen for ages!

Day 277 – part 2

We went into Warwick for a free meal courtesy of our Tesco Clubcard points, and parked near a friend’s house. Just as we were walking past his house he was coming out, so he invited us in for mulled wine. A serendipitous evening!

We flew to Gloucestershire Airport in the Robin. Our friend Jonny joined us in Wilhelm and we had lunch in the cafe there.

A bitter Easterly wind to start the year. We spent the day at the airfield shovelling gravel to make a path, which was some much-needed exercise after consuming so many calories over the last few days!
