Hi

Flying over my house yesterday evening. Actually 15 balloons altogether, a not infrequent event when the conditions are right, probably coming from Bath.





Cheers Paul

Just hope it's not been fused !

It's been quite sometime since we've seen any fancy balloons our way, which is a shame as they look so damned good.

Here's hoping the flight didn't go with a bang!

I remember, when I lived on the edge of The Meadows in Edinburgh, taking the kids down, at dusk on the days before the actual flights, to see the balloons inflated for a Night Glow. Wandering through the trees by the light of what were effectively enormous paper lanterns was quite magical.

Phew!    I thought for a second you were going to talk about the Zeppelin raids you saw as a kid.

Don't be silly, I didn't move to Edinburgh for the first time until 1968 ..... but, speaking of memories, have I told you about watching the last legionaries embark as they left Britannia forever?

Well played the owner of the balloon and the people who manage the registration numbers

Shouldn't it be MLS-BMB ?

Googled, and came up with some WEIRD creations.
WARNING! One of them could DEFINITELY make you snort your drink!!! LOL  
I was hoping for a Zardoz Head...but Darth will do.
NO WAY would I go up in one...hmmm...well...
