Stunning weather: still on the ground....

Back in Norfolk and the weather is stunning.  Julian went to pick up the plane from the trimmers this morning, whilst I built up the bicycle trailer, put the hitch on Julian's bike.  Added these neat magnetic lights to my bike (a magnet cycles past the light which is attached to the frame), and by a process of induction (?) current is produced causing leds in the light to blink, i.e. completely battery free, so a great backup.  I also attached the pump to my frame, changed my cleats to my travel shoes (no mean feat when the cleats and their bolts are no longer new) and did quite a bit of test riding.  The trailer is really quite fun, it makes the bike ride more solidly, the challenge is remembering that you are now a 3 wheeler and not bumping the kerb....  In the afternooon we went to look at the plane at the farm strip where the last works will be carried out.  It looks really fantastic.  The purple leather seats look exactly as I wanted them to: the trimmers did a really fabulous job of the interior, we are so pleased.  The paint looks pretty smart too.  So we're pretty close to completion now – just a little bit of bolting together to go :-)
