Welcome to our Blog, I hope you enjoy it. We are Neil and Pat

Since the kids left home(recommended) we have tried to do as much travelling as we can. We have toured parts of Europe on a motorcycle and started motorhoming a couple of years ago and have never looked back.

In a few years we are hoping to do some major travelling around the world.

By the way , Neil’s the one with the beard.

Bristol Balloon Festival.

We had always wanted to go to the Bristol Balloon Festival so this was it.

We took advice and went with the Motorcaravaners Club ( Nuff said ) who had a plot right opposite the event, couldn't have been nearer.

On the Thursday we went to the "Night Glow". This is were loads of balloons are inflated in the dark and then illuminated by their burners to music.  Quite a spectacular even though their timing was crap.

The next morning at 6.00 am we were all out of bed early to see the famous launch of 100 balloons. ( When I say all, this wasn't quite the case as you can see in the photos.

Although this was really impressive I was hoping for some different shaped novelty balloons.

Sadly the weather wasn't brilliant and all the further mass launches were cancelled.
