It's been a few years since we've seen a mass ascent from Longleat! We counted 35 at one point although they have over 130 balloons there this weekend. Unfortunately the wind wasn't blowing them towards us... well, I say unfortunately, but I well remember the time one was looking for somewhere to land and nearly took our chimney stack off!
Today marks seven years since I had a ride in an ambulance and was diagnosed with stress-induced heart failure. Seven years!
