Good on you
Rugz! Good luck with the training... I've always thought its a great
advantage to learn in this country in the environment (includes weather, airspace, etc.) that we have which can be challenging on occasions, yet which is the environment that you'll be flying in once yo uhave your license: so its great that your first lesson was not on a lovely day with puffy clouds against a blue sky background, as that would simply have been misleading
Again, welcome!
