the day hannah flew. (post on my facebook may 1st 2010)

it was a warm sunday... and hannah and a french guy took me up the mountain in a wagon... a wagon or a landrover... a landrover... and we wound our way up the mountain... till we arrived at the top...

it was busy up there... many people at a pub on top of a mountain on top of a part of africa... my africa... on top of my africa... our africa...

so hannah and myself and the french guy whos name slips me... but we will call him david... cause that might of been his name... and some french people are called david... walked away from the crowds out towards the edge of the mountain... and sat near a edge... looking down and over and around... and spoke about life and science and life... as the madding crowd was a bit away behind us...

it was a pretty sunny day... with little white clouds in the distance... like in photos... or movies... or dreams... and we sat there semi alone on the edge of a mountain... in africa... my africa... our africa... and hannah walked out a bit to the edge and stood staring out in to the distance... we could see for ever... we saw the ieffell tower in france and the great american prairies... it was amazing to see that far from my mountain... our mountain... it was.... wow...

and as i looked out at hannah... she jumped... and i was scared she would fall... but she landed on her feet... on my mountain... and as i looked again she jumped again... and jumped... and jumped...

and then she jumped... and she never landed... she jumped and flew... and put out her arms and soared out with the crows on the near by cliffs... and soared and flew... and i could hear her giggling and laughing as she flew... i rubbed my eyes... i pinched myself... but she kept flying... it was... pretty... it was... wow...

and the crows flew by too... and sounded like they giggled too... and hannah flew over... and laughed... and shouted... weeee.... wooo.... as she buzzed by... it was so wow... i was amazed and shocked... and she swooped down and picked up david by his arms and let him go... and he flew... and swooped also... laughing and saying... ooo laaa laaa... he is french... and he buzzed by me... and then hannah... and i smiled... i smiled and laughed... cause it was... wow...

and then i saw david and hannah shoot off into the distance... disapear and all i saw was crows flying and swooping by... and then i felt myself drag and lift up... as david and hannah grabbed me from behind and lifted me up and let me go... and i screamed... a small scream... weeaaa... and as they let me go i first fell and then put out my arms and spun and flew... and i felt the air zoom over my body... and it was... wow...

the crows... and me... and hannah... and david... and a bearded vulture zoomed by... it was so sweet i could taste sugar... wow...

and we could see the people starting to fly too and everyone was giggling and zooming and buzzing and wow... it was amazing... flying so high...

and looked at hannah and she smiled and zoomed... and david he shouted "camabert" and zoomed by... and wow... and some south african even shouted... bookke... i think they beat england that day...

and then i looked at hannah and she looked puzzled... and i was confused cause sahe jus hung in space... and then as i passed her she said... but matthew... i cannot fly... and as she said that she started dropping... and then david... and i... and all... jus dropped...

wow... what a day...

and then we drove home as i slept in the back of the wagon... landrover... remember the days when i slept in the car on family holidays... it was a sweet day... wow...
