Up Up & Away!

Not for any particular reason, but I have never done the Hot Air Balloon thing before... maybe it was the wondering the weather would be ok or the thought of the early morning drive to Northam (you have to be there by 5:00am!) but recently my kids gave Anke & me a voucher to go ballooning in Northam so there was no escape!  It was a stunningly beautiful morning & crisp but not too cold & it was a really great day. To avoid the early morning drive, we stayed in Northam overnight in a very nice BnB & had an even nicer meal in Northam at funky cafe/restuarant called "Mon Petit" that had apparently just opened the previous week... the food was fantastic. The balloon trip itself was only an hour & half but it seemed much longer & was a whole lo of fun! Thanks Kerry, Lauren & Tim! VERY generous of you... & much appreciated!
