Oh wow I bet that's a sight to see.
I had a summer job at the Don Cameron balloon manufacturers in Bristol one year, it was so much fun.
And then there was the Bristol Balloon Festival yearly which was fabulous.
Few years ago I actually got the chance to go up in a hot air balloon - it was wonderful.

that's amazing, I am so jealous
Have you ever been up?
I'll try to find the photos I took of my balloon ride

Found some, I won't bore you with the thousands of pics I took
Getting the balloon ready

Up, up and away

A modest French chateau

Folding up and putting my toys away - then we all had champagne

Never been up in a balloon, jumped out of planes and helicopters for the military, but that is about it. Got to meet a few of the older guys who jumped into Normandy on d day.
