New toy and Temple Newsam (UK)

Good news Theresa bought me a kite in Leeds the other day! Bad news - it wasn't the Gemini in the new AntiGravity shop

The toy shop in a shopping centre had some Top of the Line kites and, having heard o fthem we got one! We chose a single line 'ram air monoplane' - a single liner which looks like an aeroplane. We could have gone for the triplane, but to be honest we have a triplane type thing with the galleon.

Anyway we trogged over to Temple Newsam park to fly the b*gger, along with a bag full of 15mph+ kites (the wind was brill!) However some b*****ds had decided a festival there required the whole damn park to be fenced off (weeks in advance) so no flying today!

On a similar issue has anyone tried Saville Park in Halifax? The Halifax show was on it last weekend, and the space is incredible!

OK, that's me done

For those of us who don't speak the language... Brill? Gunner Dave

Hi Mark & Theresa,

I know Temple Newsam well. I have buggied there with great success. Do you live nearby?. I live in Leeds. As for the Ant-Gravity shop, I think it is well received here in Leeds as up to press I have bought all my kiting needs from a shop down south. If we support the new shop we should be ok for some time.

Regards

Simon.

It's a little place around the midlands of England (I can't remember the exact location as I haven't been there for nearly 25 years), which has a windmill and is remembered by the phrase: 'Brill on the hill, where the wind blows chill.' It's probably a pretty good place for kite flying.

There's also 'Stow on the Wold, where the wind blows cold.'

Hope that helps. ;o)

OK - multi guess time...

Its a flat fish

Its a cornish tin mining term

Its an abbreviation for brilliant (why is 'abbreviation' such a long word?!)

Yes - Call my Bluff is back on BBC (more brit references!)
