As part of our fantastic day at Duxford air show we got to see this beautiful and frankly relaxing flight sequence of classic aircraft from a bygone era. I stood for ages, working muscles I don’t normally work and ignored the hunger in my belly all because I was having fun.
Today was one of those super busy change your plans at the last minute kind of mornings so this is one trick I use to make a celebration of it.

health is made at home, hospitals are for repairs That is the synopsis of the 15 minute episode that I just listened to called A Health-Creating Society.
