There could have perhaps been just a tad more wind, but the weather was fantastic all day, with clear blue skies bringing out a bumper crowd for the thirteenth Streatham Common Kite Day.
It was a fantastic free family day out!

This was my 99p kite. And this was about as high as it got. I think a Tesco bag on a bit of string may have flown better.
