High pressure over the duration of last week means summer leaves in a blaze or glory. A full gaggle of work shy reprobates gather at Holly to enjoy the sun, a gentle southerly and abundant thermal activity. Simon's inspired BBQ suggestion tops September off perfectly, it's the best 'fly and fry' we can remember and flying carries on past sun down.

all good things must come to an end, but you'll be able to relive it here via the medium of film soon..
Crumbs, just looking at the definition for reprobates.
ReplyDelete1. A morally, unprincipled, depraved, or damned person.
2. Shameless.
3. Rejected by God and without hope of salvation.
4. Condemned.
5. Abandoned to eternal damnation.
6. Destined or condemned to eternal punishment in hell.
7.A disreputable or roguish person
That's what too much exposure to slope soaring does to you.
we're long past any form of redemption Eric!
