A few weeks ago, I travelled all the way to Leeds Castle with Mrs Thompson, to see their special hot air ballons weekend.

After reading on their Web site that "Morning lift-off takes place between
6.45am and 7.15am" I left Crowborough at 06:50, but when I arrived at
the attraction, was told I had missed all the balloons!

I scanned the sky and drove around following Mrs T's instructions, trying to catch a glimpse, but saw nothing!
