Now I'll have you singing that all day!
Yes, we made it for Tine's birthday flight in a hot air balloon, enjoying perfect conditions.
The giant basket arriving at the field...
...and the length of the balloon when laid out!
The start of inflating the balloon
It's getting there!
The basket uprights itself
Once we've all clambered in (not as easy as that)...
...we're off!
Views of a château...
...and our own shadow.
The best was Chinon Castle in all its medieval glory...
...with no apologies for several photos.
An old farmhouse, complete with barking dogs and people waving
There's a pool approaching and we're losing height
Phew, safely flown over!
Brushing the tops of the trees, helping us to slow down...
...before landing in a very prickly field.
There's just the small job (!) of deflating the balloon and folding it all back into its bag, a very warm task on a lovely evening.
There was a beautiful sunset before heading back for a welcome glass of wine with everyone to celebrate their flights.
