Debdale Park, and memorial for Mrs H

Well myself & Louise Howard had a day of thrills today. 

(Though I think we should probably say yesterday, since Its like, 4.43am. And I have no life.)

Our action packed day included a trip to Debdale Park in Gorton, one of our favourite haunts. 

 

Lets not lie, its aite for the middle of Manchester dont you think?

Anyway, the purpose of the trip to Gorton today was to mark the 1 year anniversary of Mrs H.

However, since this is us, it could not go to plan.

We had this grand plan, involving two of those memorial lanterns & a candle lighter.

So you know, we opened the paper lanterns, fixed the candles in, Howard stood there and I set it alight.

What is supposed to happen next, you ask?

Well, in theory, the lantern is supposed to fill with hot air, and then you can let go and it will float away serenely.

No. It wont. 

The lantern just WOULD NOT lift off.

In the end we gave up, and dunked it in Gorton resy before we caused a bush fire. I believe my choice of wording was something along the lines of "dunk the fucker in." 

Good times.
