Hope some day I get to go up in one ...

We are very happy with it, although to be honest Tim uses it more than I do. The only slight irritation we've encountered is that the 'click' seems really loud.<br /><br />Good luck at school - I know the feeling........GaynorBhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12971753467966206018noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-771539132515843977.post-68530841258451659142011-05-01T16:47:39.077+02:002011-05-01T16:47:39.077+02:00@Gaynor: BTW what camera did you go for in the end...@Gaynor: BTW what camera did you go for in the end??Niall & Antoinettehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12699304108340257145noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-771539132515843977.post-66043724354166401912011-05-01T16:46:54.883+02:002011-05-01T16:46:54.883+02:00@Craig: it is fun and this one was quite low and f...@Craig: it is fun and this one was quite low and firing quite frequently. Used to see them regularly when I drove the A12 commuting from Suffolk to London. <br />Thanks for the compliment re photos :-) I'm very pleased with the result as the camera is an Exilim 6 megapixel point and click. [I'm working on getting a Canon EOS 500D.... slowly :-)]<br /><br />@Gaynor; Hope you had an easy trip back to UK. Must be lovely on a summer's evening to see 3 or 4 sail by overhead.<br />As an added bonus 2 of the deer appeared not long after so a super evening!<br />Playtime is over; back teaching in school tomorrow.Niall & Antoinettehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12699304108340257145noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-771539132515843977.post-76226563402981758542011-05-01T10:22:24.834+02:002011-05-01T10:22:24.834+02:00We regularly get balloon flights over in the UK, s...We regularly get balloon flights over in the UK, sometimes there will be 3 or 4 at once. We live fairly close to Shugborough Hall where there is a base.<br /><br />We haven't seen any at Le Petit-Pressigny yet, but we'll look out for them! <br /><br />I love the pic of the balloon directly overhead.GaynorBhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12971753467966206018noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-771539132515843977.post-35291111369469135252011-05-01T08:37:11.445+02:002011-05-01T08:37:11.445+02:00It's very exciting when a balloon goes over yo...It's very exciting when a balloon goes over your house isn't it?<br />You captured it very well considering the difficult angles involved.
