Room With A View

Usually it's all about the front of the flat. That's where stuff happens, parking disputes, topless sunbathing, fighting lovers, boys who have no idea I'm sat out on the balcony talking about their girlfriends' sexual habits...yesterday there was even one of those machines that munches up trees and spits out wood chip parked in the road munching trees and making a lot of noise about it. But the back of the flat has been where it's at over the last few days. Firstly the moon has been unbelievably bright and Stu has managed to get some spectacular pics...







And secondly, this week is one of my favourite weeks of the year...Balloon Fiesta!!! On Tuesday morning we were woken up by the sound of hot air balloons being fired up - it's surprising how loud they are - looked out the window and saw the sky crammed with hot air balloons at 6.30am!!! Who knew we had such a good view of the flight path...







Expect many many more pics of hot air balloons over the next few days...

Oh lovely - back in London, ON we used to have annual balloon fests and we would go down to the park to see them and yes they are extremely loud and huge!

I only read up to topless sunbathing, then I lost the plot completely, especially when you started talking about big baloons.

Thanks! It doesn't always look that good Allison :)

Thank you Will...or rather Stu says thanks, can't really take credit :(

I can't believe how loud they are Barbara, they're quite far away really but you'd think they were right here in the flat or something!

You say that now Mellowlee but wait until I've posted millions of the things ;)

Hehehehe! Funny that, Stu often seems like maybe he's not quite fully listening to me when we walk past the park...can't think why ;)

Dr Gem Gems I have replied to your text but you have not replied back :( Don't come to Bristol cos I won't be here and therefore won't be going for Friday drinks. Come to Weymouth it's rockin'. TOO MUCH INFORMATION BTW. Gross. Like your job do you?
