Variety Club Balloon..didnt miss us by much!

Oooooer! That would certainly have been a bit of variety for you! That is really close!!

Flipping heck..you could have been 'up,up and away' Tet! Lol.

Yes you could have hung on and visited all of us - you are so good at sorting out that sort of thing!

Great photos Tet, thank you! This one in particular! That IKEA one should really have been shot down I think! ;)

Im surprised the screws didnt fall out Karen lol!

Dont you start Sticki, got enough trouble with BA!!!

Think I will pass Bloomer, I prefer something with an engine

Were they eating meatballs?

I think this one missed the mark..Im a bit slow tonight Sticki...??

Sorry Tet my fault I was thinking of the ikea balloon - I thought ikea were the ones that always served meatballs in their cafe?

Lol,Sticki..they are ..never tried them though..only go there as a last resort,if I can't find it somewhere else..Picture or photo frames usually..

I haven't tried them either!

My one experience of Ikea was shopping for a day bed. I lost my rag trying to get out. It said follow the arrows and they took me all around the building and, as I was in a hurry, I dumped my order sheet and told them I would never shop there again! So I didnt know about meatballs lol! Sorry Sticki.

I know what you mean!

Brilliant pic Tet, they do come close don't they? Is it variety club members who 'drive' it or are they professional ballooners? :-)

do they use sat nav?

Wots sat nav? a navel in saturated fat?
I would guess the professionals BA, and the company buys the balloon for advertising in the ether (Sticki knows all about that, she's good at that sort of thing)

see other blog tet!!!

Great series of shots. I've always wanted to visit the show.

They had half a million visitors over the weekend Tog, rather you than me...I prefer our grandstand seat right opposite..we are on one hill, the balloons on another!

THat's a good way to enjoy the show.

Too right, and the Red Arrows are very visible also (tho sad about the Bournemouth crash just after our display). We sometimes have guests for that weekend, and our neighbours make a day of it on Sunday, bbq and all the trimmings for friends and family. Even a paddling pool for the kids..and they dont care if its raining either!
