ReplyDeletePeter so not a figment of your imagination then. What a great day. Not for the farmer though if you made a mess of his field.
ReplyDeleteWell done Peter, and you thought it would never get off the ground. Ha ha ha, a nice flight, when will it next...............................
ReplyDeleteWell you finally made it Peter!....Amazing views - and good news that it all went well, apart from the hard work at the end that is!!
ReplyDeleteI hope the farmer got to sample some of that Champers...for making a mess of his field?...[;o)
lovely views, grand finale' --- not so brilliant the labour after all that
ReplyDeleteGood for you for finally getting your balloon ride and some really great pictures to go with!
ReplyDeleteWhat a fantastic flight - and those views! A nice end too (the champagne I meant... not so much the digging out !) :D)
ReplyDeleteHow exciting, Peter. Wonderful flight and stunning pictures. I envy you for the flight. Due to my back problems I don't have the guts to make a balloon flight. I certainly would have enjoyed it. Greetings, Joke
ReplyDeleteOne of the things I'd like to try some day.
ReplyDeleteMy father in law did one several years ago...they landed in quite a breeze.. hit a creek, got dumped right out of the basket and everybody got bruised ...but, nobody was badly hurt... the champagne at the end may have helped.... but, he wasn't totally impressed with the end of a pretty amazing flight....
It seemed wonderful to me from the air to see the world but I would never dare step. Balloon in such Gorgeous and beautiful clear pictures Peter. Also great that you were making this trip :-)
