Ballooning Experience

Up, up and away, you may have noticed I've changed my background to this blog because my wonderful boyfriend treated me to a balloon ride.

It was one of the best things I have ever done, as usual I was a bit nervous, but the weather was good, because apparently you can't hot air balloon in bad weather, very dangerous as you'll get blown of course. This was all a surprise to me, my boyfriend had told me he was going to treat me to something special, but he didn't say when and he didn't say what it was going to be.

We had to get up early, the sun wasn't even up, that's how early it was and he drove me to what seemed like the middle of nowhere and there in front of me were these balloons, well they weren't quite ready yet, they had to be filled with hot air. But once this was done and I gripped my boyfriend’s arm, we lifted, I've never felt anything like it, and it’s like sailing through the air. It's a bit noisy when they put more hot air in, but that's nothing compared the views, breathtaking. We even had champagne up in the balloon.

I'm not quite Phileus Fogg, but I'm definitely going to do this again.

Strange Thing

Just a quick post but an unusual experience happened to me today, you might remember I went on the ghost tour in London (Halloween), well, I was about to go into the post office and this woman came up to me out of the blue and say's 'you were touched by a ghost too'.

I thought she was, well how can I put it, not functioning properly but then she said 'I can tell these things'. Spooky or what, actually she may say that to every person outside the post office, who knows, but it sent shivers right through me.
