This is hot air balloon that we took a ride in last year. It was a surprise birthday present from my husband, and is the most lovely and thoughtful gift I have ever received. I have ALWAYS wanted to go on a hot air balloon ride.
We went over Belton House just outside Grantham in Lincolnshire, and has pretty much perfect weather. Sunny, clear skies, light breeze; glorious. The views were stunning, and we were all given champagne afterwards.
I love being up high, and was peering out over the basket. My husband; not so much. The fact that he wasn’t entirely comfortable at about 3000 feet in the air in a wicker basket being held up by what is essentially a large upside-down silk bag and an oversized camping stove, made it even more impressive.
Hope you enjoy!
Awesome photo! Need to take one too

Thank you! We were really lucky that the wind blew the balloon in a good direction. If it had been blowing the other way it would have been a bird's eye view of the A1 highway :)
