HI All

Wondering if I am dreaming or whether there is a Chinese festival called "Flight of the kite" or soemthing like that!!

I have trawled the net and my numerous supplies of magazines and have found tons of festivals but nothing about kites!!!!

Hope someone can put me out of my misery and if I am dreaming I can stop lookig for information on a non-existant festival!!

Many thanks

Hi Geraldine, there is a chinese kite festival. I'm pretty sure it's in the autumn, because when we did it it was windy (autumn windy, different from spring, summer and winter windy!) I'll check the planning for exactly when it was. :D
