Balloons Over The Moon
58 red and Black balloons crossed the night sky over Denbigh this evening, most were illuminated briefly by the full moon
Not too much fuss.....not too much drama
A few glasses of champagne were raised
Andrew would have liked it!
What a lovely way to be remembered.

Is it really a year since Andrew died? It seems like yesterday. I wonder where the deflated balloons will end up.
ReplyDeleteI'm glad it went well. It was a lovely thing to do. Jx
ReplyDeleteI also saw my first balloon release at a service recently. It felt satisfying. I hope this gave you all a morsel of consolation.
