Perfect morning for flying-at last!

Waited far too long for the weather we had this morning. Sunny and no wind, oh and a few people. This is the Bristol Downs and to attract drinkers and diners (all socially distanced of course) our enterprising restaurants and bars have set up a small "settlement" of teepees next to our famous water tower. Just what we need as lockdown recedes and lives begin to be lived again. 3 batteries worth, what joy!

Great shot..It looks like the restaurants have been inventive everywhere. Here in several nearby city's they have closed off a street or two for the purpose of dining. Thanks for posting!

Thanks Rendlesham. It’s a good old City with lots going for it. Just a nightmare to find somewhere to fly safely hence my repeated shots of the Downs. Glad you liked i and that it brought back some memories.
