I was just out watering my few pots the other night and looked out to see this balloon drifting over my house and rising upwards to clear the hill behind. As with a previous photograph of a hot air balloon, I'm glad I'm not out sunbathing in the nude, they sneak up on you.
I suddenly started singing Dionne Warwicks 1967 version of the "Up, Up and Away" song and couldn't get it out of my head. You have been warned, so here are the lyrics.
"Up, Up And Away"
Wouldn't you like to ride in my beautiful balloon?
Wouldn't you like to glide in my beautiful balloon?
We could float among the stars together, you and I
For we can fly
Up, up and away in my beautiful, my beautiful balloon
The world's a nicer place in my beautiful balloon
It wears a nicer face in my beautiful balloon
We can sing a song and sail along the silver sky
For we can fly
Up, up and away in my beautiful, my beautiful balloon
Suspended under a twilight canopy
We'll search the clouds for a star to guide us on
If by some chance you find yourself loving me
We'll find a cloud to hide us, keep the moon beside us
Love is waiting there in my beautiful balloon
Way up in the air in my beautiful balloon
If you'll hold my hand we'll chase your dreams across the sky
For we can fly
Up, up and away in my beautiful, my beautiful balloon
Up and away, up, up and away, up, up and away
I recall seeing one coming down ended up the basket one side of a house the balloon on the other , don't worry probably never happen ! Lol
