The Attraction, Distraction and fine!

The attraction: Portsmouth kite festival.
For the past few years we have taken our son to the Kite festival at Southsea and this year was no different. The weather just held out long enough for us to enjoy the morning before the heavens opened up.

The Distraction: An excited little boy.

We parked up and got everything ready before unfastening our eldest son. The minute our son got out of the car, he decided to run up the road whilst trying to launch his kite as I was locking up the car. Foreseeing the chances of an accident, I quickly ran after him, followed by my wife with the push chair. Catching him up, I explained the dangers of running of (again) and mad our way onto the common where the festival was taking place.

The Fine: You know where I’m going with this, don’t you?

After an hour of kite flying, our son then asked if he could go on the rides at the fair. He chose the ride that he wanted to go, and then the penny dropped, I hadn’t brought a parking ticket. Saying a few choice words, I made my way back to the car only to discover a ticket on the windscreen. Saying a few more choice words, I made my way back to my wife and family. I know things have gone up but to pay £50 to fly a kite...

I hope your bank holiday weekend is going better than mine so far.

Regards

Martin
