Balloon Over Basingstoke

Yesterday was glorious if cold. This morning started much colder - we had frost on the lawn. Half way through town on my way to work I spotted this hot air balloon floating over Basingstoke. I hoped it was drifting perpendicular to my route but it wasn't so by the time I got in a good position to photograph it it was further away than I would have liked. I really need a compact with a longer lens...

I've seen this balloon before, it was over the village a few weeks ago, and I've saw it over Basingstoke but much further away a few weeks before that.

Typical day today: breakfast; work; badminton and home...
