Chinese lanterns

Yes,it's that time of year again. These lanterns bring such a lovely splash of colour at this time of year - but they're very hard to control.
3 good things
1) Our street bbq went very well last night - always good to get together, and the children have a great time playing in the street
2) Playing for the service this morning went well
3) Scalloped potatoes to go with our lamb chops for dinner

They are gorgeous - grew them once , but as you say "hard to control" esp. in a smallish garden.
Pleased to hear your street bbq went well and I assume the weather behaved. Days are really drawing in now !!
