Strathaven skyline this morning...

The best way of travel, however, if you aren't in any hurry at all, if you don't care where you are going, if you don't like to use your legs, if you don't want to be annoyed at all by any choice of directions, is in a balloon. In a balloon, you can decide only when to start, and usually when to stop. The rest is left entirely to nature.
— William Pene du Bois, The Twenty-one Balloons.

12 more balloons went up this morning... a wonderful sight! There is lots going on in the park this afternoon, and more flights are planned for 6pm, although some of the balloons and their crews will have gone by then. However, the sun is shining and it promises to be a great day... if you're looking for something different to do today, why not pop over to Strathaven?
