Chinese Lanterns

We tried to launch one of those Chinese Lanterns last night. The weather conditions were 'perfect' just as the sun was setting. We struggled not to tear it as we wrote 'Happy Birthday Olivia, we love you, miss you and will never forget you'. Then we took it outside, following the instructions. It lit well, inflated and then the moment of truth! It went up ... sort of ... then drifted off towards Hebden Bridge and crashed! We will try again!

I finished putting the strings on at 9.30 pm last night - phew. Dav-Al is hung up in the rafters of the barn drying. A fantastic sight - one day there will a a whole row of them!! (Barn-Awls?)

Do you fancy a Night at the Opera - Haworth style? Informal with a glass of wine (or two), good company and lots of laughs - September 3rd - Cobbles and Clay - their telephone number is on the dates page
