The weekend is approaching and we have a bit of a treat instore for Sunday.
It is a surprise which was planned for Jon's birthday back in June.
He is having a trip in a helicoptor.
We will be taking lots of photographs, both from the ground and from the sky.
Last year I had a trip in our local air ambulance, when i assisted my SIL to the hospital following a road accident.A car had pulled out and collided with the motorbike she was a passenger on.
As bikers, the Great North Air Ambulance plays a crucial role.
You can read about the good work the Air Ambulance does here
It is quite fascinating to see the view from above.
As we took off I talked Maureen through the route so she felt at ease.
Fortunately she was OK but to see her on the road, in a stretcher with a helicoptor ina nearby field was quite a shock.
We had planned a bike ride with a few of our friends but the day took a dramatic change of plans when the car driver decided to pull out without looking properly.
The campaign, Look once look twice think BIKE! is as important as ever.
I must say my own car driving has improved since being a bike passenger and Jon's observations are so intense and well measured. He always says he assumes the car driver is going to do the opposite to what he is indicating! He is so right.
If any of you have been watching the fascinating series COST on BBC2 you will have recognised the familiar scenes from my walks on the beach when our local coastline was featured a week ago.
