Balloons over london

6/6/15

We arrived at home from a party and it was 10 o'clock in the evening. I went to bed straight away so to be ready for the ballooning next day.

 

7/6/15

I woke up and found myself in a land rover. (which was how we got the balloon around,) It was pretty dark but I could make out a launch site and got out to take some photos.

I was asked if I wanted to come flying and I said yes.We saw a lot of buildings and bridges including the Shard, the Gherkin and the tower bridge.We also saw Big Ben and the tower of London.There was also lots of train stations and yards. We even saw some trains in one of the yards. There were  42 balloons and it was all for the lord mayors grand appeal. We landed in a field next to a railway and every now and then a train would come whistling past. The owner ( of the field ) was very kind and gave us toast and tea. In return we gave her a bottle of whisky packed up and left.
