Hello Everyone!
(Mrs Vaudin here...)
I thought you might like to see a few photos of my adventure today! The staff at Oakwood bought me my balloon flight for my "big" birthday last year and I've been waiting to do it since then.
It was very warm as they blew up the balloon. (It was also about 7 o'clock in the morning because they always do balloon flights in the early morning or the early evening.)
Once I had climbed into the basket, which was quite difficult, we lifted off ...
...and we were floating over Hampshire (somewhere near Alton).
The views were amazing - here you can see the shadow of the balloon!
I wonder if anyone can leave a comment to tell me the names of the two brothers who invented the hot air balloon? Without them, I wouldn't have had a fantastic adventure!
