Perservere , old boy - I have found the most exhilarating, 'glad to be alive' flights are to be found in early winter morning jaunts, when that High pressure is squatting stubbornly overhead.
Get there early next time and maybe 'phone ahead the previous day to check the aircraft will be fueled and they are up to date with plenty de-icer etc. If your chariot hasn't flown for some time, request a battery check.
A warning is necessary here, however - if you do get to do these flights with your daughter, she will want to fly herself. From your wallet. Better to start her on crack cocaine - it will be cheaper in the long run!
