Dear Mr Edgebinder,
I have a "dark & stormy" and a lounger on the beach awaiting your arrival. We always have room for wayward travelers. Bring your friends.
Your friend,
Cirque
PS please post your travel pics as I don't get off the island much... |

I've been thinking about that idea, too.... 
Would be great, if there could be a kind of "online-diary".
In this way everybody would be able to follow your itinerary and read about your adventures ! |

Exactly what I was hoping to do
I'll need some help with the typing so be prepared 
I've been helping Pumpkin make some edgebinding for the Royal 69 sled that he's making for me to travel with but the sap is all fingers and thumbs. Can't sew edgebinding straight for toffee 
But he has promised to finish it for a flight tomorrow at his local fly in. With a bunch of guys called the Heart Of England Kite Fliers link here
Been having fun with Pumpkins kitten as well. That cat is a total nutter
Apart from stealing Pumkins pencil and mugging both the craft knife and scissors he discovered that a piece of template on a wood floor makes a great slide.
Run at full speed down the hall and pounce and he can get all the way across Pumpkin's kite room on the template.
Kittens and sewing machines don't mix but they are trying to 
I'm learning some new words but can't share them cos they're all spelt with asterixes

Don't worry - while staying in Switzerland I'll lend my secretary to you....  ...You'll just have to dictate !
How is your new companion doing, the Royal 69 sled ? Were you already out for your first flight ?
Oh - wait... - it's not 'tomorrow' yet, I guess.... ...Time difference....  |

Not a problem, just logistics..... fill glass, empty glass, re-fill glass  No problem

Well, I'm about ready to move on but before I do, here's a little photo diary
I'm supervising as the template is cut out for the 69er
With a little help from Pumpkins Kitten
Who also decided to help in the cutting out
But we got it cut and sewn and went flying this morning. In a place called Sutton Park in Birmingham UK (Sutton Coldfield really)
This is my mate the 69er and if you look close, that little black rectangle underneath is me.
Had a great view from up there
The drogue is red white and blue for some reason
The weather wasn't too good and while we were flying I thought something had scared all the humans...suddenly there was a stampede of them
Turned out to be a fun run... the 7 pools run that goes all around the park. It's a big park so they had to run a long way. No wonder some were on bicycles. This is Dave Salmon flying a stunt kite while the runners went past.
Thanks to the guys at the Heart of England Monthly Fly in. Most of them belong to the Midland Kite Flyers and this is their banner
They signed 69er so we got a record and tomorrow I'm going to visit a guy called Harrier in a place called Clacton.
Him and a few friends like Pete and Skunk usually have an informal show on the beach every sunday so me and the sled are going to fly there
