My treat

Recently a very special person decided to treat me to a wonderful surprise. It was a magical day of amazing experiences - giving me such unforgettable memories.
I was picked up at lunchtime and taken to lunch (and if that wasn't enough)...I was then driven to Stapleford Airfield for a flying lesson (again I'm thinking, if that wasn't enough)...then taken to Cambridge to watch 'A midsummer nights dream' accompanied by the most delicious picnic...how lucky am I?????? I have never felt so spoilt and pampered.
For those of you that have an urge to fly - go for it. When you're up in the sky the world is such a quiet, peaceful place. You feel like you're moving so slowly that you can't possibly be getting anywhere.
It was the most beautiful clear day and the sun was shining - the views were spectacular.
I was a little nervous when I climbed into the plane but the pilot was brilliant and it turned out to be so much easier than I'd feared.
From being high in the sky to sitting on a rug in the grounds of St John's College watching Shakespeare...how can you top that!!
Thank you x
