Free at last

Who would have thought it?  After all the fire lighters, petrol and solar panel experiments Young Keith's rocket finally got airborne.
I put it all down to the use of barbecue charcoal for fuel.  After three days of trying to get it alight it goes up in flames in the middle of the night, terrifying all the Beaker People who thought the end of the world had just arrived a few hours later after all.
We don't know when or where it's going to come down, but one thing that's guaranteed for a rocket made of pallets and powered by charcoal - it's not gonna stay up there all night.

  1. Dear Archdruid,

    A rocket?

    Surely you just did the English thing of getting pissed and making a huge stinking bonfire in the garden?

    Peace and love, as Ringo Starr puts it,
