Up up and away

This morning I look out early and see a hot air balloon heading over the house and going high above the field opposite. I don't know where they take off from but we have seen quite a few (normally slightly further away though).

Looking online I see that Virgin balloon flights (which this was) actually take off at Uttoxeter racecourse - no wonder it seemed rather near!!!! Dave was concerned when I took him his morning tea that the occupants may be spying on him .....
