Boxing Clever






Did you know that
an Australian invented
the box kite.

Did you know that a smallish box kite can also make a great hat
and an even better light. All you need is some double sided tape,
barbeque skewers, A2 paper and some string.
A little dash of genius and decorative flair from Mikey N.
and its was ready to fly - well almost.
Time was not on our side. There were kilts to count, canon to fire,
railway platforms to hang about, cows to be herded, corks to be hidden,
not to forget educating Mags in the Simpson's family tree
and their curious colour attributes.
So the pizza was burned, the duck over-cooked
as mind and body were distracted with - well - more important stuff.

















Thank you so much
Helen and Mikey
for coming such a long way
and sharing some of your precious holiday with me.

It was a pleasure - and the food wasn't so bad! The kite has arrived safely, but may live a more prolonged life as a light! - or maybe not - nothing ventured nothing gained! with much love.
