Flying over Ashford

Today I went for a test flight with a fellow priest who proposes that he fly us to Merville, France, in a couple of weeks for the gathering of priests from the diocese of Southwark. So he took me on a flight from Rochester to Ashford and back. Here are a few views of our parish church and school from the air:


And the Designer Outlet:

It was my first time in a light aircraft. We flew relatively low and it was a somewhat bumpy ride due to the varying temperature of air rising from the ground. When we fly to France we'll be above the clouds so it will be much smoother. So now I'm ready for the flight to Merville.

Brave soul. I am NEVER comfortable on any plane where the pilot also loads your baggage. Dittos if you can see out the front window yourself! [But you're each other's confessors, so you at least have the comfort if the plane's going down you can give each other absolution!]
