In due course, she got her licence and took us up for a ride. It was an unforgettable experience, and helped me to understand why she had put in all those many hours of study.&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/sort-of-wiw-glide-me-to-the-moon%e2%80%a6#post-968139 Mon, 01 Jul 2013 12:01:31 +0000 Lantana 968139@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I love purple and citron together and this combination looks excellent on you.<br /> Your post takes me back morethan 50 years to my one and only gliding experience.

The weather is crazy, I agree... I just hope it gets better again or my week by the seaside is going to be cold! And how awesome that you went gliding. It's fantastic, isn't it? I once went gliding together with my mum when I was in primary school and there was some festivity on the nearby field. I've never forgotten it!I want to repeat that someday.</p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/sort-of-wiw-glide-me-to-the-moon%e2%80%a6#post-968108 Mon, 01 Jul 2013 10:16:03 +0000 Anonymous 968108@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Lovely coat and what a great experience! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/sort-of-wiw-glide-me-to-the-moon%e2%80%a6#post-968106 Mon, 01 Jul 2013 09:57:44 +0000 Mona 968106@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>What a lovely purple jacket! I am so happy you listened to your inner voice. Gliding is soooo much fun. Love these pics. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/sort-of-wiw-glide-me-to-the-moon%e2%80%a6#post-968099 Mon, 01 Jul 2013 08:54:18 +0000 Anonymous 968099@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Wow Ornella! what a great experience! Your purple coat is lovely. What a good job you bought it I love it with&nbsp;the bright lime green tone scarf. I always&nbsp;like your colour schemes. <br />Thanks for sharing those amazing photos too. Now I want to have a glider ride! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/sort-of-wiw-glide-me-to-the-moon%e2%80%a6#post-968096 Mon, 01 Jul 2013 08:43:24 +0000 Ornella 968096@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Sorry for MIA lately, I try to get my daily dose of fabness by reading at least. I know I owe you one outfit and I will make it up soon.</p> <p>In the meantime, here is the&nbsp;weekend outfit.</p> <p>Every time I wear this purple quilted jacket I remember my thoughts when I was contemplating whether to buy it: "But Angie says (i.e. not my fault!) that you dress for the climate you live in and this jacket is perfect for my new climate and my new lifestyle". And every time I wear it I am so happy I had listened to my inner voice :-D</p> <p>The truth is, it really is perfect - lightweight, breathable and warm, perfect for transitional weather, can be layered underneath easily,&nbsp;dressy enough not to appear too casual, short and practical for the bike rides, gorgeous color that works with my existing wardrobe AND has great huuuuge collar that can be zipped or unzipped and protect my neck from cold.</p> <p>It was perfect for the recent breezy days too - we have had some crazy weather recently and have practically regressed to early Spring temepartures-wise, totally off-sync with the calendar.</p> <p><b>About the outfit</b></p> <p>On Sunday, a day after celebrating our friends' triplets' birthday and coming home after the midnight, we went on the airfield to see hubby's work colleague's glider and what the fuss is all about.</p> <p>Long story short, we were offered a ride too. It might have been just too tired and short of rest from the day before, but I said YES unhesitatingly. Btw, I am the person who hates roller-coasters and generally anything stomach-churning.&nbsp;</p> <p>In the end, I was very happy I accepted the offer. It's a great experience. The feeling of gliding is nowhere like flying. After the initial surprise of <a rel="nofollow" href="http://nokaviation.com/gliding.htm">the winch pull</a> to take the glider off the ground, it only took some getting used to the sensation of the glider turning left or right at sharp angles, and that was it. The rest is about enjoying the ride and the scenery.</p> <p>Gliding was never on my "Things to do in life" list, but now it's been added and ticked off at the same time :-)</p> <p>Thanks for looking.</p>
