Ah the joys of a night glow, and a relatively low resolution camera, it’s amazing at the time but the photos aren’t that good. Even so this is one big house, and one that I used to see a lot on the way to work.

Not What It Seems

We’ve seen some pretty cool things at hot air balloon fiestas like the Cameron basket-less balloon at Bristol in 2017. But this one took the cake a remote controlled mini balloon, even the pilot in the blue bobble hat in pint-sized. The “passengers” are 6-inch Woody and Buzz toys from the Toy Story franchise. A quick search of the Kavanagh didn’t reveal a “buy here” button for this model.
