“Going up in a hot air balloon is something I've wanted to do for a long time and it didn't disappoint. I'd been anxiously checking the weather forecast and we couldn't have been luckier with perfect visibility and light. It was absolutely beautiful, really magical. Even the pilot said it was one of the best mornings he'd seen.
