If you’re looking to spend some fun in the sun with your dearest aunt then I might have just the thing for you!

My nieces surprised me last weekend with a special treat: they decided to get me up and out of bed early on Saturday morning because we were headed out for some hot air ballooning fun! Now I’ve never been fortunate to try this before so it was a completely new experience for all of us!

It was such an amazing experience, it leaves me rather speechless. We were all so excited to be flying in a balloon basket (I was sceptical at first, but you get over it quite quickly) that we quickly forgot about how scary it might be. We were very fortunate that there weren’t that many clouds which meant that we had very good views! Unfortunately after a little while the wind picked up and it started getting very chilly so our ‘pilot’ brought us down again, but it was well worth it anyway! I’d highly recommend it to anyone – just check the weather forecast in advance to make sure that your trip isn’t cut short like ours was.

My nieces are so sweet! This was their ‘thank you’ gift to me for helping plan a big surprise do for their mum from them. I must say, I could get used to this kind of treatment ;-)
