Picnic and planes

'How much for a ticket? They are taking the micky big time' i say to you, your face drops, you love the Red Arrrows and just to see them fly even once a year is something you love to do. 'Ok, look, if we can get close to the airfield then lets do that.....ok?' You ask, i really have not the heart to tell you that planes are not my cup of tea, but ok, i agree and your happy. It's sunday, early up as per usual for me, your packing the picnic all showered and dressed, i think we got to go and see planes more often and smile, bag packed, coats in the car and your ready, i'm still putting my trainers on, again i smile. All the way your telling me stuff i never heard, the names of the pilots, the planes they use, all the time i'm listening but really just want my lunch. As we drive near the airfield  the thunder of engines we can hear, jet fighters to propeller planes, all can be heard and seen, a big field with people setting up BBQ's, kids playing, everybody seems to be having a good time, me? i just park up, get out and grab our blanket and food, you take the coats and search for a good spot away if we can from most, happy with our spot the blanket down, some food and drink, sitting, chatting you look so excited, looking up to the clear blue sky waiting for your friends to come along, again i smile, you look and are acting like a big kid, so nice to see, we watch some planes go over, and the time is near, you stand, almost demand them to come along, then that noise, nine jets, even i am gobbed smacked, they fly right over us and split, your jumping around, so excited and so happy, grabbing me, your eyes all teary, i am so happy for you, i could cry myself, a joy and playfulness i have never seen in you, my heart melts, as they keep flying over i fall more and more in love with a side of you i have never seen before, your almost child like at christmas, a birthday, i hide my tears and cuddle you so thight, no point as your eyes and mind even heart is all theirs until their last fly over, tipping their wings as to say 'Goodbye' to you, i am so happy and can't wait until next time for our picnic and planes :)
