No relevance to anything really, but here are a couple of photos taken a few minutes ago of a hot air balloon trying to land on my bus. I don't really know why but balloons often pass over my house. This one is called Ladybird and is frequently seen, and today was in company with a Virgin balloon that was just ahead of it. Ladybird was 'burning' almost constantly, and by the time I had been into the house to get my camera it had about doubled it's height from when it first appeared - but still felt much closer than the photos really show.

You should have asked for a ride LOL

My wife and I have taken balloon rides, and one of the traditions (at least in the U.S) was explained to us. At lift off, each balloon carries a full bottle of champagne. Wherever they set down, tradition says they are to share the bottle of champagne with the land owners. They can land here anytime ;D
