Hot air balloons

Although I was dressed more as if I were watching the cricket (as a friend mentioned!), all white and a Panama hat seemed just right for a boiling hot day at a local balloon festival. The weather in the UK is just ridiculous at the moment – whoever heard of more than two days of hot, unbroken sunshine in a row? It’s been nearly two weeks now with no signs of stopping.


But I am not complaining – I get to wear all my summer skirts and dresses that have been languishing unworn in my summer wardrobe year after year. So all white with a couple of pops of red and a Panama hat? A perfect choice in my (blue mirrored aviator) eyes. And if you ever have an opportunity to go to a balloon festival – DO IT. It is one of the most awe-inspiring, beautiful sights I’ve ever seen.


Have you been to a hot air balloon festival before? Even better – have you been UP in one? I guess that’s the next stage for me…!

    Clever of you to wear white against all the bright color! Looking lovely of course. Interesting how white makes your sunnies look especially delicate, or is it just me? Big ballons scare me to death … too many horrible accidents this year. But they are always beautiful to see!

    That looks like a great day out Catherine, and amazing photos too. Love the all white look, keep meaning to try it but get side tracked with colour, but it's such a classy look! X

    Amazing how good you can look in such a simple outfit. Is it the hat? Is it the belt? The knotted shirt? You? That splendid photographer? (Your husband is a very good student, don't you think?)

    Love this white outfit – I might look at trying to replicate it! I've been up in a tethered balloon in Paris. I'm not good with heights, so I was a bit hesitant at first, but the balloon ascended so gently that I was surprised to suddenly find that we were high up with superb views over one of my favourite cities. Highly recommended!
