Up Thru The Atmosphere..

Today was too gorgeous a day to sit inside, and despite still feeling weary and a tad yeuk, I headed to the beach with the kite.

Toolibelle left early before I had woke, and Si was busy with Scout technicalities.

I was quite content in my own company and once I got to the beach, I sat on the sand to commence the difficulties of arranging the strings.

I weighted the kite down with sand, and stretched the cords out. I was quite content with myself, then I looked up and spotted Si coming towards me! He had already walked the length of the beach looking for me, but because I had been snuggled on the sand at the end of our road, he had missed me.

We got the kite into the air, and thorough enjoyed the feeling of getting tugged along the beach. I'd love to think that one day I'd be brave enough to risk a wind /surf/ kite type thing, but giggling my face off, while being bounced along the sand is quite enough for me.

It was a truely gorgeous day, not even spoilt by Si's frustration at being unable to keep the kite up as long as me.... I chose this photo because you can see the determination in his face in trying to control the kite. There was so much else to see though. ...

I'll still some more up on Flickr. and you can see what a beautiful day it was.

Smile, it's grand to be alive!
