Up & away!

there is every chance that was made near me..

The balloon? Would quite like to go up in one and photograph the stud and our cottage!

yea..In Oswestry, Lindstrand..

Have you ever been up in one?
Didn't fall into the canal then!! hahah

My daughter's arranged a balloon flight for me for my 50th (some time ago!). It was brilliant and I would love to go again.

I might have to arrange a trip in one, David says he wouldn't like to go up in one, will have to see who out of my friends would come with me!

I went on my own (although there were others on the trip). It was fun to see my family down below following the balloon in their car - we all ended up in a field eating birthday cake and drinking champagne - lovely memories :)

Wanna come with me Gee, the champagnes on me!!

I'd love to, Lulu, but think it would probably be beyond my means now. I know it was quite expensive when the girls arranged it :( But if you get the chance go for it :)

Do ya know how expensive, I've never looked into it!

I believe it's about £150 for a flight lasting approximately 3 hours, Lulu.

Up up and away in my beautiful balloon
Can't remember who sang it lol

wasn't it in an advert? in the 60's/70's?

I found out - it was the Johnny Man Singers in 1967 :)
I bought the record and still got it lol

Oh well done Hywel!! In 1967 I was 4 and was listening to my mums records, an eclectic mix of Swan Lake, Leanard Cohen, cliff and Frank Sinatra!! Then I moved onto my own Elvis! I lent all my Elvis records to a friend for safekeeping when I went away for three years (sounds like I went to prison!) travelling! His x wife went off with the lot!:(

The old cow lol
I was 17 in 1967 and fell in love with Petula Clarke and Miss Bowden our art teacher in school lol
