Yesterday I managed to get my first flight in the UK on my new licence, flew the aircraft owner around East Anglia as part of my 2 hours check ride to satisfy the insurance company, carrying out stalls, steep turns etc before carrying out some circuit practice at Eye before returning to our grass strip around 7pm. Very enjoyable and the owner is still speaking to me which can’t be a bad sign. Today got washed out, even our usually dry runway has standing water (and ducks) on it.
