Absolutely perfect weather today after a grey sky and ground mist early on.

What a lovely set - I have to agree that number 3 is just gorgeous with the light and clouds.

Great shots Nick - shame to see a lot of the artwork removed but at least El Jeffe is still fully adorned. For how long though I wonder. Great to see the Cs too, make the most of them while we still can :unsure:

Spent a freezing morning at Lakenheath, nothing special but the light and sharp frost were excellent.

Very nice Nick

Was it cold? I didn't notice as my extremities were frozen solid

Great set Nick - both the initial ones and those from today. Looked like Paddy had a good time!

I thought I had fixed the first one from the initial set for you! :lol: :lol:

Take care
