Penny and Greg's Balloon Flight
For Christmas 2000 Ben and Donna very kindly
provided us with a Hot Air Balloon flight. We decided to go to Devon so that
Penny's nephews could drag their parents out of bed at the crack of dawn and
have them bring them along to the launch. Originally we booked to go on Penny's
birthday in 2001 but the outbreak of the foot and mouth disease meant the
balloon company couldn't take us. Then, we booked again to go at the end of
October but bad weather stopped us this time. So, on the morning of Wednesday
5 June, Penny and Greg dragged their tired backsides out of bed and made their
way to Ground Control.

The cattle took a keen interest in the proceedings, waiting patiently for their turn. |
Up, up and away! Let's see some more photos!
