kites
saw some incredible kites on tv last week and reminded me of hours when I was younger and stood flying down in the park. These things are real big nowadays and a long way on from my blue diamond with one string  |

why is it that most of us stop doing this when we grow? I haven't flown a kite for 20 years but I loved it when I was child and I think I would love it again now. although i remember when kites were one bit of string and square of cloth, but now they seem to have more lines, controls and technology than the early space missions |

Kite flying was one of those things I wanted to do when I was little - but it never worked out and was a huge dissapointment. No matter how windy the weather, how steep the hill or how fast I ran - it just dragged behind me 
They have big displays on the beach here - very impressive looking things, but not how a kite is in my mind - a diamond shape with a smilie face and some bows on the string  . |
