Reikiranf Posted July 26, 2011 Share Posted July 26, 2011 We've just had 7colourful, musical, hot air balloons fly over our house, apparently they are something to do with the Olympics, I just wondered if anyone else had seen them as I know there are quite a few of you that live near me Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Janepie33 Posted July 26, 2011 Share Posted July 26, 2011 And how much wine had you been drinking!? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Seagazer Posted July 27, 2011 Share Posted July 27, 2011 No Reikiranf wasn't imagining things - we were in Danson Park, a beautiful local park where our son has his kayaking club. There were about 7 balloons and we watched them take off and listened to the music that they played. Have no idea what music it was though. Its a shame it was so cloudy as I think they would have looked beautiful against the sky if it had been clearer. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Reikiranf Posted July 27, 2011 Author Share Posted July 27, 2011 Thanks for that Ann, it's amazing how everyone's first thought was that I'd been drinking! It's a shame that they took off so late They were still lovely to see though and we had a good view for quite a while. I suppose I could have given the thread a better title, when I just looked at it I wondered if people thought it was a new olympic event Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
squiffs Posted July 27, 2011 Share Posted July 27, 2011 The music is specially commissioned for the Olympics and is part of an art installation based in South London, if you go on the metro website when I read it on the train yesterday they had a piece about it so perhaps the information will be online too!
