Let's Go Fly A Kite

Thats what they said in Mary Poppins! I was watching someone fly their kite in the park today and I am still not sure how much fun flying a kite would be. I can understand the excitement if you are part of the new kite craze of using it to pull you along on a skate board, but as for normal kite flying, well, what's it all about????

I remember on holiday on the East Coast where mum was in charge of our kite. You can imagine my dismay when somehow she managed to cut the string on some rocks and my kite flew down the very tall cliff to the beach below. Muggins here was sent to fetch it but by the time i got down to the beach some kids had pinched it and were playing with MY KITE in the sea. Grrrrrrr!

Maybe i need to buy get the smart price kite that Darren gave me for my birthday out of its expensive packaging, venture over to Preston Park and see if it is fun!

Although have just been looking at http://scotthaefner.com/kap/gallery/?g=favorites and it seems there is more to kite flying that I thought. Amazing photos!
