Thanks to all from Denise Stear

High above the beautiful Cotswolds, frothy white clouds scudding across a bright sky, a patchwork of fields studded with mellow stone houses below, tied to the outside, yes the outside, of a plane its engines drumming beneath me, yelling at the top of my voice, “I can’t believe I am doing this!” Wing walking is sheer, wonderful, awe- inspiring lunacy. My face literally flapping, air rushing towards me as we bank round to the right and then, stomach lurching, into a nose dive. It was over all too soon, but the sense of exhilaration will remain with me for a very long time. Katharine House Hospice is the most amazing place, giving wonderful care to people at their most vulnerable.
