Closer than usual, the pilot had to turn on the burners to float over the top of the stable, the noise startled me, and spooked the donkeys so they stopped eating their vitamin mix and ran round the corner to hide. The sheep didn’t like the noise either, they ran down the paddock and into their shelter. The people in the basket were happy, heard them say ‘look, donkeys and sheep!’ The balloon stayed low over the treetops and landed in a field somewhere near Hambledon Hill. A warm, sunny day with a cool breeze.
