Next Week
I’ve begun planning another trip already, whilst trying to write up the last Helsinki Trip, however, the creative juices have been rather dry when writing this trip report. Creativity can be… a hard skill sometimes when other things are playing on the mind (or other tasks to keep you occupied).
And we’ll be back here again next Saturday like clockwork.
Until then – happy landings!
