Flight tragedy in the French Alps & "Storm"ing along with the book

A close to home airline tragedy with this Germanwings aircraft plunges into a valley in the French Alps.  All 150 on boiard are feared dead as photo's show little left of the aircraft.  Bad weather is hampering recovery of the bodies and black boxes - - -





The daily Express covers the Alps tragedy











I see Lee Kuan Yew died last Monday.  He was president of Singapore for 31 years at the time the British had an interest in the island.  He was to say the least a political thorn in the side of the Brits about policies and independence from our imperial intentions.
I think its rather ironic though that his coffin is being carried on a British 25 pdr Gun carriage - - -


 Nice early morning view yesterday of the hillside with good looking prospects for a sunny day
 Looking North up the River Derwent on one of the Darley Dale fly fishing stretches
the prospect of a sunny day went down the pan as this shot from our lunch venue shows the rain coming form the clouds is almost upon us
 cold stats this morning with a fair covering of frost
the frost can be made out on the tops and sides of the pergola in the foreground.  The forecasters, who were so wrong yesterday are predicting a sunny day

I'm really blasting along with the book now and as today is my last day of the current shift pattern i'm giving it an optimistic eye and hope to finish the text by the time i go back to work!!!!! The "Storm"ing reference in the blog title today will become apparent if you read the book!?*- - -

Enjoy the day
