Hot air balloon

Watching the swallows swoop across the sky this evening I saw that they had been joined by a hot air balloon drifting rather more slowly. It was such a treat to sit outside in the warmth and smell the scent of the newly cut lawn. The pleasures of a country spring time.

Also maybe less of a pleasure but a key feature of this time of year, is the anxiety of my men folk, as the football season draws to it's finale and yet again Burton Albion supporters are feeling the strain with the team hovering just inside the automatic promotion spot at the top of League One.
