On Friday 2nd March Ma ma was finally able to take her Balloon Ride. After 2 failed attempts it was a thrill to take to the air. It was a cool morning with a slight breeze and it was decided to take off up at Blanchtown. We watched a beautiful sunrise as the fellas were setting up the balloon and filling it with the required air and heating it. Pa was able to come along and be a helper. It was a wonderful way to start the day. An hour long flight with only the sounds of the birds and the wind with the occasional hissing of the gas burner. A big thank you to our kids for giving Ma ma the wonderful gift.
