Waiting for takeoff

Today's weather turned beautiful after a cold and cloudy start.  It was a bit breezy, with a stiffish northeasterly, but nothing to bother us in a lesson at 6,000ft.

The extra photo is the student carrying out checks before takeoff, which 
was a bit sporty: the student had forgotten that it was necessary to pull the control column back and trod on the left rudder pedal instead.  

But we survived, and the rest of the flying was really very good.
