              I won first prize at a kite festival for biggest kite (6 metre wingspan) about 30 years ago and it was presented to me by Leslie Crowther who's daughter married Phil Lynott of Thin Lizzie who shared the same birthday with Robert Plant (anniversary last week) and a friend of mine used to own Robert Plant's old Jeep.

              Coincidence or what?
