We have lift off

One of the major failures of last night was the poor performance of the lanterns.. I had bought a load of bio degradable ones to let off, however most of them really did just crash and burn.

I've just tried one, as you can see it seems to be working (it did in fact soar off over the village far away into the distance) . The only differences in conditions were that it was daylight and no body involved had been drinking.. You can draw your own conclusions from that ;)
