Enjoy your (family ?) days out. Any special place you are going to?

[Dave Williams]

I had some new tyres fitted to our 17 year old caravan this week so we'll be off in it for the first time in 2 years soon. I wish we had your choice of places to go though Peter! I'm looking forward to seeing what you were up to.

[Peter Connan]

Thanks @xelas and @Dave Williams

This was a bit of a last-minute decision, and that meant most places were booked out. It was a relaxing weekend with family and friends, but there will be some pictures from the weekend in this thread in due course...

[Treepol]

@Peter Connan wonderful images, especially the in-flight shots. I particularly like the Yellow-billed Duck action shot.

Thank you very much @Treepol
