Look what went over our house yesterday evening.

We went shopping to Tesco last night and got back about 8.15 and look what flew near our house - not one but THREE hot air balloons















This is the picture of the red one landing in a field.


The other two landed behind the Church.

Would have wonderful up there, a hot air balloon ride is an amazing experience!

ooh foxy you lucky thing seeing all them ballons going over the only time we see them here is when bath have there ballon festival and they drift across the channel and come this way

I love balloons Its the balloon festival here in Bristol soon and about 200 usually take off and if the winds in the right direction float over our house.

I used to see these regularly on our travels to Kent, as there's a big hot air balloon display just off the motorway and some of them are amazing, all shapes and sizes, depicting different things, like a bottle of budweisser or coke etc. You wouldn't get me up in one of those though!

We sometimes have them landing near our village at this time of year, I think they have to follow the thermals and a Range Rover follows them to pick the people up again to take them home. I think it costs quite a bit too doesn't it to go up in one of these?

Lovely pics of them Foxy - was Benji mesmorised by them??

Yes they looked great but you wouldn't get me up in one of those either - I would be cringeing sat at the bottom of the basket if I was in one I couldn't look over the edge even if it was only 15ft in the air - I am a right chicken with heights

Benji didn't see them fortunately

The red one said Churchill on it so that would be that Insurance company wouldn't it?

Hot air balloons are a common sight hereFoxy-they launch them 5 miles away! I'd love to go up in one cause apparently its so quiet up there in a balloon cause you drift with the wind and theres no resistance.Only thing is cost-about £150 per person and you need to get several others to fill the basket.

up up and away in my beautiful balloon...

nice pics .were the baloons close to the power lines ?or was it the angle of the pics?

wow! great pics foxy!

I'd like to be an air balloon operator - on that sort of money!
