You guessed it; the day dawned grey and miserable – we were stuck in a cloud. The jigsaw and the open member’s area it was in were the central parts of the daily routine, and in the early afternoon (when it had become slightly less grey, though not by enough) we escaped it by going for a walk around the hills. Graham, Oliver and I went down the wooded valley, catching glimpses of the large manor house, and also a big buzzard. We found a pleasant, circular path to follow, though it brought us back to the airfield with light and energy to spare, so we crossed to the Cotswold Way footpath and followed it to the Nympsfield Barrow and view point. By this time the cloud had finally lifted a little way, though too late in the day to help with getting any flying in. Later I cooked a stir-fry and we retired to the bar to play Dingbats, which Will won surprisingly quickly, so we all carried on until getting bored of it.
