Got back from the Blackpool Balloon Bash very late last night as there was a major
hold up on the motorway. We got stuck for over 90 minutes but one of the
funniest times ever with Sally and Danielle in the car and catching up
with what went on at the convention................it was so funny
we all had tears running down our faces.
