FLY AWAY......




As I sat outside early this morning, drinking my cup of tea.....I suddenly looked up to see this beautiful balloon flying overhead.




What a romantic and peaceful thing to do 
at 7 am.......blue skies, sunshine, and the beauty of the landscape stretching beneath you.






I was fortunate to go in a hot air balloon many years ago, when my husband and I left our wedding reception in one.....a beautiful, and surreal experience, as we left the noise and chatter and excitement of the day, and slowly drifted up to silence, with the shrinking crowd of family and friends below us, still waving......'flying away' to our new life together......






Ahh sigh....happy memories.....and on that romantic note, I shall leave you with an appropriate soundtrack, in the form of one of my favourite songs.....'FLY AWAY' written and sung by our 19 year old son 'Patch'.  To listen, please press on the link and I hope you enjoy it!

Wishing you a very happy Wednesday!
