Make your own kite... and Stanley the Stork defies gravity


Where there's a will there's a way...

Technical adjustments...

Look out below!!! Who would have thought it???
Complete with handlebar moustache and  baby rattle on his tail - Stanley takes to the skies.
And look what Stanley  brought. Dear little Zachary, wearing bootees and a coat I knitted myself.
Now Zachary is taller than his me and sings in a band called Fuld Effekt with his brother Alex and friend Claus!

Watch this space...for more kite features in the coming weeks

And see Jake and me having a go at flying this sled kite
we made after a week of slipped disks and  a total lack of wind
on the night we finished making the blessed thing.
Cross your fingers there's more wind soon.

In the meantime, check out the link below and make your own 'diamond-shaped' kite out of a plastic bag!
