This was the view standing on the edge of the harbour at night, watching the paper lanterns float away. I attended a wonderful party on Saturday and our friend Anna organised this fleet of lanterns to be sent out to sea to celebrate a 30th birthday. They were made from pieces of bamboo, skewers and tissue paper, and inside, bark on which to rest the tea-light candle.
It was a great night with music, pizza, dancing, new and old faces, dress-ups starting with "D" (dairy farmer for me), and a star-lit walk back to our cabin just before the sun came up again.
And, because I don't have much else to show you today, here are some of my best finds online over the past week or so. Click away...
