Up,up & away in your beautiful balloon! by happypat

Up,up & away in your beautiful balloon!

We had three balloons in quick succession over our lane this morning. I really thought I had taken lots of good photos but was really disappointed with the results. I was slightly hampered in the fact it was breakfast time & had B&B in so really shouldn't have been in the garden at that time .
They all looked lovely & only the sound of the whoosh as they fired up to go higher. I never managed to get a good picture of them all together.
It must have been very cold up there -2 this morning.

I am really behind today with my commenting & any I don't get round to tonight I will try & catch up tomorrow. Thank you for looking at mine !!
It looks like a bauble hanging on the tree! I love to see hot air balloons too!

There was a phase when hot air balloons went over Preston every Friday evening and I never stopped being excited when I saw them - it looks like a lovely way to travel!

lovely balloon shot Pat - loving the blue skies too. Your guests should be made aware of the priorities before booking - ballons before breakfast!!

Great catch. You don't exactly get to schedule a hot air balloon fly over, so you make do. Our temperature this morning was very similar to yours.

What great multi taskers we women are!! Taking terribly clever shots of balloons, cooking breakfast and entertaining !! Love the photo.....yes, snap how funny, I now realise you are near Blackpool so you must get busy, we are down the road from Great Dixter, Sissinghurst round the corner, loads of gardens to visit so get a lot of garden people.

@fannyb Yes about 7 miles inland from Blackpool. I have been doing B&B for almost 20 years now so winding down a bit now we have retired from farming. I do keep pretty busy but mostly regulars that have been coming for a long time visiting parents/ children living in the area. I have two regulars in at the moment which is great, breakfast early & off in the morning all day & only a bed change once a week !! At one time I liked the change of different people now I like less work !! I really enjoy it though & lots of good friends made from all over the world as will you !

Oh wow, that's something I've always wanted to do! But the early morning wake-up puts me off somewhat! Nice shot!
