Pterodaktyl…

Due to our local railway line being closed for repairs, Lil had to leave for work earlier than normal all last week. Getting up at the usual time this morning I was amazed by how much earlier the sunrise has got in just one week - and today’s was particularly spectacular!

I created the models for the C17 Globemaster, Su27 Flanker and Eurofighter Typhoon.

Even though I’m not strictly from Devon, having only lived here 10 years, it seems a large number of these still apply (except the one about the second cousin)…

Yesterday I finally proposed to Lil, who I’ve known for 2.5 years and loved since the moment I met her! We were planning to do it on the commons, which are one of the most beautiful areas of East Devon and our favourite place to spend a weekend, but the weather was rather unpredictable so instead it happened in the bird hide overlooking the Otter Estuary (luckily the rain had scared all the other birdwatchers away, and it was just us, a Kingfisher, a Raven and a Mandarin duck!).

I’ve very glad to say that she said “yes”, so now I feel like the luckiest guy in the world! We are so very much made for each other, and I’m looking forward to spending the rest of our lives together!
