over two years ago jen gave me a hot air balloon ride. since then i have booked a ride lots of times but each time the weather was too windy but finally this week we got to go on a beautiful morning. we took off in petworth in west sussex and landed near billingshurst. if the wind had been slightly different we might have flown over prospect wood. it was such a beautiful experience – peaceful, gently floating over the world. i have added some photos to flickr – balloon ride
