The forecast came good and shortly after 10:00am I arrived on Blackheath to find a 'full on' UK Summer's Day.

Not much wind, that is, and the slight breezes shifting quickly through 180 degrees and more.

It was great to get the Zens out and lock in to the 'treacle interval' some of the time. 'Flailing' in slow motion to accommodate the size of the kite is just so 'cool'.

I was conscious of the 'three finger tips' on the handles 'no grip' with the thumb nail and small finger nail occasionally in opposition to the fingers. Every opportunity to drop the handles. <grins>

No doubt it will be back to earth next weekend in Sunderland but we will be prepared...
