We visit Dorothy in Fulbourn
     
The boys bought us a balloon ride tickets and we were fortunate to go on our first attempt - here the balloon arrives
     
 
We got there at dawn!   Getting the basket ready
 
 
It is fascinating to watch: first they fill the balloon with air, using a very powerful fan
     
 
Then, when it is full of air, they light the gas and fill it with hot air - actually hot carbon dioxide and water vapour!
     
 
We're ready for off!
     
 
Another, Horizon, balloon was with us - almost landed   A close-up of passengers in the Horizon balloon basket
     
 
Some amazing buildings   Who has a helter-skelter in their back garden?
     
 
Close up of the helter-skelter   Notice the mediaeval TV aerial
     
 
The Horizon balloon is down!   We're down and everyone - including Liz - helps out!
     
The basket is loaded onto the trailer
     
 
They fix up a camera from the basket...   ... and here's the result
