A quiet day on Blackheath, light NE breeze and a first sighting of swifts against the blue sky and bubbling cumulus.

Took the Della Porta: Eight rhomboids 1993 today but didn’t check to see if the tails were in the bag.  As with the other two kites from this period the tails are actually bagged separately…

Still, no broken spars in this one and there is a chance to try it next weekend ahead of the Scarborough event the following weekend.  I’ll try to sort the broken 5 spars for the bigger Della Porta: Nine squares 1993 in the meantime.

Some of the team will be attending the Shropshire Kite Festival 20th - 21st July.  We will take JMH kites on that occasion, for sure, looking for advice on re-sparing some of them.
