Up at the crack of dawn to check for balloon updates, determined to see the Ascent this year. It said they were flying so I headed out - instead of going up the hill I walked towards the harbour instead.

I saw 3 balloons from a distance as I approached, then walked all the way along and found a good spot. I sat there for quite a long time before they posted an update saying no more were flying. Boo.

Walked home via North Street to get a coffee and pick up my parcels. I got home just before it started raining, got back into bed, and after 10 minutes Matt woke up and was very confused where I’d got a Costa from.

Later we went to Wendy’s for lunch. Anne, Ben and James were there too - and obviously baby Norah. Lunch was delicious but mainly we just stared at the baby and passed her round and round the table for cuddles.
