It did not actually rain today, saving it for Monday morning by the looks of it.

Central Hackney was closed for the Carnival and I had decided not to make a big deal of making alternative arrangements for getting kites out and back.  Just have a rest and reflect!

We are still waiting to see how the BA pilot strike unfolds and whether our flights on 27th September will be cancelled and if alternative arrangements will get us to Austria for that weekend event.

A week after that I will be travelling to Hamburg to collect a small group of kites by Peter Malinski who was working closely with Jørgen in the 1980s.  We have two Malinski kites from Jørgen’s collection already so it seemed like an interesting addition.  That will also be the conclusion of the collection as storage space will be full!
