Landing into Dundee Airport at 4pm yesterday on a Loganair ATR 42-500 was definitely in the spicy category!

Come and follow me on Duolingo, see my progress at learning German.

I don't want to be that typical English person and expect others to speak my language when on holiday. Or more likely on a day trip there!

Hallo. Ich heiße Pete und ich bin lernen, aber spreche Klein Deutsch.

Poorly in comparison! But the flu in March, plus putting my back out in both April and May. Could be worse.

Found a flight I'm unable to log into my tracker on My @flightradar24.com - that would be the charity wing walk I took part in today.

I have a whole new level of appreciation for the professional wing walkers, it is much more challenging than it looks.

A huge thank you to AeroSuperBatics today.

The latest day trip a few weeks ago saw myself and some friends spend a few hours in the extremely pretty city of Derry in Northern Ireland. A city steeped in history, it was lovely to explore, friendly locals and a city I would love to return to in the future.

Across the river can be seen the centre of the city of Derry, with standout buildings of the Guildhall and St Columb's Cathedral visible.

Not your typical stag do.

Earlier this year, the lads and myself had a little trip away for someone's stag do. Oh, that's me!

A lovely city, beautiful architecture, stunning views, and fantastic memories.

Easter items being on sale is not an outrage.

The outrage is that Cadbury have shrunk the contents of 10 pack eggs to an 8 pack.

No reduction in physical pack size. And a hike in price from £4.95 last year to £5.50 this year at Tesco.

Ouch.

Last weekend, the flying crew had our yearly pre-Christmas pilgrimage to the ever beautiful #Gibraltar

24°c and Christmas decorations is still just weird to me 🎄 ☀️

But a fantastic day out with the usual laughs. And another 2 stamps in my passport for a brief 15 minute walk into Spain and back 🇬🇮 🇪🇸

I spent a couple of days away for work last week. Whilst I didn't get a lot of time to explore the village I was staying in, I did manage to stop and admire Lymm Dam briefly on Saturday morning.

I'm sure it looks even better in the summer too.

It's time for that awkward first post...so I thought I would share a collection of good memory photos from 2024.
