Summer Holidays

Today was the first full day of school hols in the Quilty house. I didn't have a great start. My car was supposed to be delivered to the dealership today, in the hope that someone there may be able to work out what on earth is wrong with it. However, it hadn't arrived by the time I had got there, and neither had my courstesy car. Fortunately I hadn't given up my hire car, and I managed to persuade one of the sales people to give me and the boy a lift home.

Farnborough Airshow starts properly today, and whilst we could hear lots of planes this morning we couldn't get a good view from the garden. We decided to take a hike up to Caesar's Camp to get a clear view of the runway. It was great sitting up there. We saw a couple of very fast fighter jets, and then this 787. It was such a contrast to the nippy little fightersz, and looked so graceful.
