It's always good to exit with a bang but this was a slightly more incendiary activity than planned. With strict instructions not to light the lanterns in winds exceeding 5 miles per hour, we battled with multiple matches as they were blown out in the 'breeze!'... when finally ablaze things progressed very fast and our sky lantern launched itself up across our roof and then up over the trees in the park and far into the night sky.
We watched stunned and cast our wishes... including the more health and safety orientated ones. All under a full moon too.
Goodbye England, for now...
