We have tried to keep it in Froona's voice, so it hopefully sounds like her.

Surely the weather will play a part too though - it still looks vile weather out on the horizon beyond Jury's Hotel? If a great weather window comes, maybe that'll be the time? Don't forget either that the 4 are unlikely to all go at the same time due to the age differences. There has also been speculation about what has caused previous years problems with maiden flights - urban environments might be trickier than out in the "wilds"? As I said previously, if the "old hands" at watching thought it was excruciating waiting for the eggs to hatch, just wait and see how anxious we'll all get about flight!<br />How I miss Froona and her input at this time - wouldn't she have been so thrilled.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-517644049991406941.post-74595438268045955832009-06-07T11:23:43.136+01:002009-06-07T11:23:43.136+01:00@ Wayne
