After an eventful trip to Australia where Nicky was attacked by eagles & flooded out of her tent, all in the same week, she has retuned to Spain where she is planning the up-coming European flying season.
Readers Digest are publishing an account of the eventful eagle episode in April's magazine.

Miss Moss lands in Oz
Drifting like thistledown high in the sky
Underneath an Australian sun
She suddenly plunged down to the earth
Like Icarus quite undone
But afloat on her angel’s gossamer wings
She fell short of the dirt and the dust
And she hung by a thread in lush foliage
Dangling, tangled and trussed
“Strewth!” shouted Shane, a koala
As he chewed on his eucalypt leaf
“There’s a Sheila up me gum tree!
That’s a sight that beggars belief”
Shane told her he slept 18 hours a day
“You can share my branch, it’s quite boring"
Though I do play the didgeridoo
I find that it helps with my snoring
With that the marsupial struck up a tune
“When The Trumpet Of The Lord Shall Sound”
As his visitor swung upside-down-under
Just three feet above the ground
Then “Yo-Ho-Ho And A Bottle Of Rum – Thirteen Men On A Dead Man’s Chest”
He moved on to some pirate sea-shanties
He thought that she seemed quite impressed
But having had quite enough of his music
And swaying around in mid-air
She jumped down and got out of the outback
Exit. Pursued by a koala bear.
