Saturday 13 August - We invited Sam over for a picnic and a view of the Bristol Balloon Fiesta. The weekend weather wasn't stunning rather grey and drizlly so we were a bit worried about the launch. However Sam showed up at 3 and we went shopping while Ian fired up the grill. When we got back laden with parcels we packed the food in our lovely wicker basket and trudged up to the park overlooking the suspension bridge. We arrived just in time and a cry of excitement for the first balloon went up as we arrived at the park. We spread out our blanket and the food and opened a bottle of cava and settled in to eat and watch the balloons. We had an excellent meal and a good view and the weather was a bit grey but quite comfortable. After all the ballons had gone by (85 in total) we went back to the flat for a cup of tea and some more chatting before we took Sam to the trainstation to head back to Swindon.
