This morning I was in Oxford by 8am to take to the air in a balloon flight. This was a package from a birthday celebration earlier in the year, but the wet weather all over the summer has made it very difficult to arrange. This was the third attempt and hey presto we were away above Oxford's dreaming spires floating off towards the east on a fresh breeze. Views were stunning and it was a great experience including helping to prepare and pack the balloon.
We landed just over an hour later outside Thame in a muddy field. Luckily, a friendly farmer came to our rescue with his tractor as even the 4x4 couldn't cope with the wet! It was all over too quickly, but it was a great start to the day. Next time I am stuck in traffic on the Botley Road I can remember this more peaceful alternative.
