We went kite flying on Hampstead Heath on Sunday afternoon. Or, rather, I went kite flying and Stu recovered on a bench after I accidentally divebombed my two-line stunt kite into his head (sorry love, the bruise will be gone in a few days!) Let's just say that two-line kite flying is ever so slightly more challenging that single line kite flying. It was intensely relaxing though, almost meditative; just me and the kite, trying to master it's seemingly random manouvres through the sky. Towards the end of the afternoon I did manage to keep it in the air more than on the ground (not dissimilar to riding a bike, pull right and it turns right etc), but I still need a lot more practice! And fewer people around - when it heads for the ground it does so at high velocity. Just ask Stu!
