Having seen this hot air balloon on our way back from our walk through the Foret de Tours=Preuilly on Friday.....
it came as quite a coincidence that we received a phone call last night to see if we wanted to go this morning, on the balloon flight we've had booked since August!
We had to be at the church square at 7:15, so all togged up, we walked down and met up with the crew and fellow passengers.
Sadly though, the weather was like this...
Anne sent up a small balloon to test for wind and visibility, but it was not good.....
Rather than wait on the field for an hour or so, we invited the group back to ours for coffee and settled down to wait for an improvement of conditions. An hour later it was no better, so for today, the flight was cancelled so our fellow ballooners made their way home.!
So what else was there to do but make a friend for the first 3D owl...
And we've still got the hot air balloon ride to come!

The owls are charming.
Agree... love those owls!!
And let's hope for some better weather for you...
at least in Autumn and Winter you should get a longer trip...
less gas needed in cold weather than hot.
Good luck...
and look forward to the post about it afterwards.
Pity about the trip, but better to wait for the best day rather than miss some of the spectacular sights.
Another great owl. Before you know it you'll have a family of owls. What is the collective name for a group of owls? A hoot...
Wow... have you made them? Trés chouette!
