Portsmouth Kite Festival

Despite the on off summer weather we headed down to Southsea to the yearly kite festival. A free event showing many different kites from all over the world. Saw many kites including a mermaid, a horse, school bus and a lot of stunt kites. Although it rained on the walk there it stayed dry and the sun even came out once we were there. The grey sky helped to construct some dramatic photos especially when the sun came out and shone on the kites. Good practice on the SLR!! After a lap around the ground we took a look at a few kite stores as well as some craft stores and a bit of cheese tasting, which ended up with a purchase of cheddar with olives. We nearly got some cakes on the way back but decided that we could make our own cream teas at home, which turned out a lot nicer!! Homemade cherry scones with jam and clotted cream yum!!
