Saturday and Sunday 3 & 4 September - This was the weekend of the Bristol Kite Festival. We walked over to Ashton court late Saturday and caught the tail end of the show. Saturday we got an earlier start and arrived at the festival just after 12. We settled in to watch some kite fighting and simultaneous launches as well as an array of weird and wonderful kites. Ian had a good time flying his pocket kite and I got some lovely paper Thai kites for decoration. We had lunch from the food vendors on site followed by fresh donuts and coffee. There were lots of giant kites and some that I hadn't seen last year, some of my favourites were the crayfish and the crab. There was also an unusual display of Thai kite competitions where one kite tries to capture another. We had an excellent time lounging in the sun and admiring the kites.
