Days Out - Strathaven Hot Air Balloon Festival
I was really looking forward to writing this up but now I'm full of disappointment. Yesterday we decided to go along to the Strathaven Hot Air Balloon Festival. I really wish I had discovered their website before turning up. We had seen the signs up and around advertising that it would be on at the weekend. However never seen a balloon as there all up at the crack of dawn and there in lies my disappointment. Still had a good day out the weather was fine and there was other stuff to see and do. Lots of stalls selling local jams, jewellery, bags and the like as well as the Hamilton Classic Car Club.
The club had a good selection of cars on show including a couple Trabants from East Germany as well as some old Royal Enfield motorcycles.
Ah well there's always next year. Now that I know the timetable.

Sometimes you need....
Sometimes you really do need a real camera and a zoom lens. It's a big
DC10 type twin prop aircraft flying over my parents house in Cumnock.
it may have dropped off some parachuters. It circled a couple of times
before heading off south. If you have any idea leave comment. Sorry about the crap photo it was
on the iPhone.
