No flying today ... the only things flying will be the witches on their broomsticks – LOL!

Friday 30th October 2009

Getting flying withdrawal symptoms ... hope we get some flying in this weekend – well I am a little flying bear you know!!

Thursday 29th October 2009

Our website keeps getting lots of visitors – good!! Have to make sure that they keep buying the calendar & raffle tickets!

Wednesday 28th October 2009

Looks like we’re going to have to postpone our Halloween party as poor Emma has been really ill **sad face** ... Get well soon Emma xx

Tuesday 27th October 2009

Sold some more calendars today – yippee!! I really love them – can’t believe just how well they turned out **smiley face**!

Monday 26th October 2009

Mum is busy planning the ‘Party-in-Pink’ in January .... poor mum – she’s always planning something!!

Sunday 25th October 2009

Think it’s only just struck me that I’m a calendar girl & will be adorning so many walls next year ... wow!!

Saturday 24th October 2009

Can’t believe how quickly this year has gone ... & before I know it I’ll be off to my new home. Wonder where that will be as mum has sold LOADS & LOADS of raffle tickets – could be anyone – anywhere .... ooooh scary!!

Friday 23rd October 2009

Day of rest & relaxation – just the thing for a superstar little bear!!

Thursday 22nd October 2009

Time to abandon Scotland & return to my home land! Had a short flight from Edinburgh to Leeds Bradford ... where it was time to mix with the little aircraft as well as the big ones! Nice flight over the mountains of Scotland & England ... why didn’t I have my camera??!

Wednesday 21st October 2009

More civilised times today – 09:00 flight to Rhodes – nice to be able to take off at Edinburgh in the daylight!! I’m getting good at turning these seatbelt signs on & off – they leave me to it now – no need to tell me when to do it! Also know the routine and knew there was no time to get off and explore .... one day I’ll get to explore these foreign lands! And within the hour we were heading back to Edinburgh and this time I got to see the sunset .... never get tired of these sights – they are fantastic.

Tuesday 20th October 2009

Glad I had an early night last night as it was an even earlier flight out of Edinburgh this morning to Tenerife ... 06:00 take off – it was still dark for goodness sake!! But then I was able to watch the sunrise in the air (missed it yesterday as I was helping to serve breakfast in the cabin!!) – oooh magical moment! The view of Tenerife was amazing too with Mount Teide almost ruling over the island. Looked a lovely place with a constant hot temperature .... I wanna get off & explore!!!!!!!! But you guessed it another fast turn around and just over the hour we were heading back to Edinburgh just as it was starting to get dark – unbelievable! Time for a hot toddy I think ... but don’t tell mum!!

Monday 19th October 2009

Change of base now as we’re flying out of Edinburgh for a few days (Och eye tha noo!!). Had an early flight this morning to Reims France – 06:15 yawn!! Dom did warn me that the job isn’t glamorous ... guess I should have believed him!! And again no time to explore as it was a 45 min turn around ... but that meant we were back in Edinburgh in time for lunch ... spot of haggis anyone??!! LOL

Sunday 18th October 2009

Last Hardwick open day of the season & I’m missing it as I’m on my travels. Hi mum – hope it’s a good day & you raise lots of money with your barbeque & calendar sales. Miss you – see you soon!

Saturday 17th October 2009

Got a feeling of déjà-vu today as we’re off to Alicante again with Dom – same flight times too – so yes you guessed it .... STILL no time to explore!! Heard through the grapevine that it was Debs birthday today & they were having a girlie fly-out to Shoreham .... hmmmm Shoreham by the COLD sea or Alicante by the WARM one .... know where I’d rather be!!! Think I could get used to this lifestyle ... but I’d need a day off between flights though!!

Friday 16th October 2009

Last rest day ... think I’m gonna put my paws up – it’s hard work being a superstar little bear!!

Thursday 15th October 2009

Mum is busy planning for her bar-be-cue on Sunday ... she’s got loads of burgers & sausages to buy – hope Tesco are well stocked!!

Wednesday 14th October 2009

More calendar selling ... is every house gonna have one??

Tuesday 13th October 2009

Another rest day today & a chance to catch up with mum ... I was able to tell her just how smart Uncle Dom looked in his uniform!!

Monday 12th October 2009

More Spanish travels with Dom & crew – this time to Alicante on the East Coast – not quite so far as Malaga. We had an earlier flight down and got there at 16:50 – but again no time to explore. In fact it was a much quicker turn around & we were off again 1 hour later. Think Dom picked up on my disappointment as he let me turn the seat belt signs on & off – cor I felt important!

Sunday 11th October 2009

Well as lots of people are getting ready for Duxford Autumn Show I was getting ready to fly to Malaga with Dom on a Monarch flight! Ooooh I love these big aircraft – so many buttons to play with – ooops not that one says Dom!! We left Gatwick at 15:50 and had a lovely flight down to Malaga. Debs has been here loads & she told me to look out over the mountains on the way down .... it was amazing – lots of little houses up amongst the mountains – looks lovely. Also managed to spot Gibraltar ... wonder if I’ll get to go there on my travels?? Unfortunately we didn’t have long there – we landed at 18:15, but took off again at 19:50 for the return to Gatwick. We had lots of happy holiday makers on board – and I hadn’t even left the airport!!! “Welcome to my world”, says Dom!!

Saturday 10th October 2009

Last rest day today before our trip tomorrow & it’s a late flight so we don’t have to get up early – hee hee that’s good!!

Friday 9th October 2009

Mum has been busy selling the calendars today ... can’t wait to see them in use!!

Thursday 8th October 2009

Been chatting to mum today ... lots of planning going on with selling the raffle tickets ... mum please make sure I go to a good home.

Wednesday 7th October 2009

Looking forward to flying with Uncle Dom – be good to see him in his work environment ... instead of the fun times at Hardwick!!

Tuesday 6th October 2009

More lazy days – a chance for a superstar bear to recharge her batteries!!

Monday 5th October 2009

Nice relaxing day today with Uncle Dom – good to have a break from calendars, raffle tickets & airshow planning – but don’t tell mum I said that!!

Sunday 4th October 2009

Better weather today (thankfully!) – clear blue skies, fluffy white clouds, and only a bit windy … all in all a great day for flying! Grandad took me flying in Marinell today – fantastic day for flying around in a Mustang – I loved it! We had to do some photo-shoot pics with Roberts car – that was fun & the pictures look amazing … only thing missing is a picture of me!! Then Uncle Dave took me & Dom for a flight in Janie …. ahh he’s such a nice man!! Two Mustang flights in one day – how lucky am I??!!
Then time for my surprise – mum has arranged for me to go flying with Dom for 3 weeks – wow!! Dom is a Captain on Monarch so I wonder what adventures I can get up to ….

Saturday 3rd October 2009

Well the British weather strikes again … grrrrr! Nice day today, not raining – but sooooooooo very windy, much too windy for Grandad to risk taking the Mustangs to Shoreham. And I was really looking forward to going there, we were going for the launch of the Mustangs SIM – as well as promoting me!!
So instead I had a nice relaxing day with mum & Uncle Paul … hope they don’t think I’m a gooseberry!!!

Friday 2nd October 2009

Wow – what a great day we have had – Earsham Hall is fantastic, we are going to have such a great night there. Mum & I were amazed and were busy planning our table layout lol! Lots of planning for ‘Party in Pink’ now. We’re also surprised and very pleased at how well the tickets are selling, there are only 150 & we are selling them fast – mum, don’t forget to get my ticket!!
It’s going to be a bittersweet night for me – a great party, fab food and all in aid of a very good cause – but it’s also the night where my raffle gets drawn and I will find out who my new home & family will be … hope they don’t live too far from mum!
Early night tonight – we’re off to Shoreham tomoz ….

Thursday 1st October 2009

Back to the calendar stuff today – mum & I have been busy packing them for shipping for orders that have come in on-line. It’s all quite exciting really – but I do have sellotape stuck to my fur … paws really aren’t the best tool for packing these boxes!!
Exciting news happened later – mum got a call from ITV (wow!!) asking if any of our pilots wanted to appear on a new dating show they are going to run … Fantastic – the FAME!!! Time for mum & me to check out the pilots and find out if anyone wants to go!!
Well after all this excitement it was great to go for a relaxing swim – what a fun life we have!! **smiley face**
