Disappointing day

Planned to fly Cov to Blackbushe today but just one of those days when it didn't go right.
Plane wouldn't start (probably overprimed by me+very cold day),lots of messing about with batteries,finally started with hand prop.
Mrs MM looking a bit miffed in RHS.
Finally got away,20mins into flight,haze getting worse and cloud developing ahead (all reports were CAVOK),decided to turn back and went by car.
Typical, wx looked great all day from the ground after that.Can't decide if I 'bottled it' or showed good airmanship.
Good landing though,after my problems last week at Shobdon so not a total waste.
Perhaps it's time for IMC training,but staying my hand with all this talk of changes there.

MM
