Kites

One of my favourite things to do especially at this time of year is watch the Kite Flying.

Re: Kites

Isn't there a festival somewhere? I think it may be in Bristol. It's a very restful thing to watch.

Fabulous Val - love to watch kites ......

Re: Kites

I can sit for hours watching them. It looks so easy but it takes so much skill. One flyer showed me how much strength you need to handle these kind of kites. I was lifted off the ground like a feather at the first slight breeze.

Re: Kites

Kite Flying is something they do a lot in India and Pakistan - especially in Spring time. I have tried to fly a kite but I do love to watch them.

Re: Kites

I used to make my own simple diamond shaped kite when I was a kid - a couple of canes, some newspaper, paste made out of flour and water and a bit of string. They could fly !

Re: Kites

Magical to watch ...... takes you along with it .....

Re: Kites

There used to be a fantastic Kite shop in Malvern, it has gone now.
I remember taking my son there and we both had a stunt kite which we flew on the hills as did my neighbours children, it was great fun
