On one of our walks down Old Mill Lane I was struck by the sight of multiple contrails which all seemed to be converging in the distance. Some are probably heading to / from Humberside Airport (or whatever its name is these days) others to other airports further inland. It shows how busy the skies are above Lincolnshire. Fortunately only a distant sighting or a contrail are the only things noticeable as the commercial flights are too high to hear any sound from the aircraft.
When I see the length of Penny's tongue I sometimes wonder whether she isn't part anteater:
Out turning round point down this particular lane:
Aircraft which fly lower and can be heard are military on exercise, daily helicopter flights to oil and gas rigs in the North Sea and occasionally the Coastguard rescue helicopter:
It is busy up there. No rain here just damp drizzle.
ReplyDeleteAdrian: Looking forward to things becoming warmer and drier.
DeleteVery little air traffic over Belize except for the little puddle jumper prop planes that make about 4 flights a day back and forth overhead. The sound of a helicopter is unusual enough that I always run outside to see what the commotion is! Good shots of the Coasties' bird.
ReplyDeleteNow that you mention, Penny does look a bit like an anteater with that long snout and tongue!
Thanks Wilma. It came fairly close for once.
DeleteForgot to mention that we got 3.36 inches of rain during the night; our rainy season has started in earnest.
ReplyDeleteThat amount would cause disastrous flash flooding here.
DeleteMidnight is when it started here as well, as I was about on my usual late night potter. It hasn't stopped since, whether the mudrunners opposite work think this is a good or bad thing is unclear.
ReplyDeleteSDT: Fortunately it stopped here for quite a while.
Deletewhat a nice place to walk!
ReplyDeleteTWG: That lane gives good open views but can get very draughty when the wind blows.
