An afternoon Airshow

I see no ships ( or f*cking any of the Red Arrows Either)
Rhyl Air Show sounded rather good fun, especially given the fact the the famed "Red Arrows" were due to turn up around 12.30pm. Chris made a picnic and asked me to pick him up from Church, so that we could take the dogs up the Gop behind the village and watch the fun, so to speak from afar!
Chris got out of the service slightly late, we had a row racing up to the top of the hill and got there just on 12.30pm to find out that a large patch of pine trees were effectively screening the whole of the Rhyl coastline!
Pine Tree view
Like little boys on a school trip, we ate our sandwiches as soon as we sat down, bickered a little more and finally caught the briefest of glimpses of the "arrows" as they streaked impressively down the Vale of Clwyd towards the sea.
Just as the rain started we craned out necks around the branches to enjoy the odd loop the loop....then we gave it all up as a bad job to return home for a cup of tea and for me a sleep before night shift tonight.
Ah a typical British Sunday afternoon out!
