    Up up, and away



    The balloons are great, but can get a bit boring after the first 5 minutes IMO. There's a Red Arrow display on last day of the event (Sunday). Best part IMO are the mass assents, on the occasions when the balloons land on the downs. Quite funny as well. Assuming they miss the Clifton Suspension Bridge.

        The pint has been waiting. You chose a caravan holiday instead though.

          THis is annual kids' birthday bash so old farts sod off somewhere weekend. Saw that balloon festival last year. Fascinating - not. Bristol round Filton area was so crowded we were unable to move our car lest there would have been not a single place to park within a 2m radius. AND the Banksy exhibition had two hour queques. Wish the rest of the populace would grasp than when xoggoth/missus make plans they should all sod off and not get in our way.

          It's just a bunch of round things drifting along for god's sake. Might be more interesting of you are in one. I wanted to buy a ballon trip for missus on her 60th but they said I would have to hire three of them to carry her.

          PS I am still only 32 myself.

          PPS And I don't have "grandkids" I hate old people.
