We set off some sky lanterns on Christmas Day, just fancied something a bit different and they were fab.

Turns out we've made the local paper! story here

(first time we've ever made the headlines, albeit unnamed!)

they are totally beautiful MadreInglese
I was hoping to get some for DS1's birthday party later this year.

MrsBadger · 07/01/2009 09:31

we saw one on NYE

I knew what it was but DH and his friends thought it was a lampshade possessed by the devil...

Jux · 07/01/2009 09:32

Brilliant

Have you 'fessed up yet?

MadreInglese · 07/01/2009 09:33

They are amazing Greyskull

We only set a few off one at a time but it must be spectacular at festivals when hundreds are set off at once.

(got them fairly cheap on ebay btw - 10 for about £20 I think - can recommend the seller if you're interested)

if you would Madre that would be brilliant.

hippipotami · 07/01/2009 09:37

Wow, they are absolutely beautiful!
But how funny to think that they cause some people to get all overexcited and film them and shout UFO...

MadreInglese · 07/01/2009 09:48

Was it you that broke the wind turbines

StripeyKnickersSpottySocks · 10/01/2009 18:25

Ah, now my DH has a theory about the wind turbine. He reckons its metal fatigue and one of the blades snapped off and bashed into the other blade causing it to bend.

The wind turbine company are keeping very quiet about the state of the blade that fell off and DH reckons they will be able to tell a lot about how it snapped. If thats true then it will suit them for people to be thinking it is UFOs. Can you imagine the outcry if it turns out these things may just shear off?

The lanterns look very nice btw, I want to get some as well!
