🎈 What a way to start the day! 🎈
Our alarms went off at the slightly ridiculous time of 4.45am on Friday morning because we were determined to get to the Bristol Balloon Fiesta in time for the 6am morning flight.
And it was absolutely worth the early start!
There’s something quite magical about watching all those balloons take to the sky as the sun comes up. But what I also loved was seeing just how many people had made the effort to be there - families wrapped up, coffees in hand, children watching the balloons and everyone simply enjoying the experience together.
We took far too many photos (a few of my favourites are below!), but sometimes those are the mornings you want to remember.
Then it was back home and a complete change of pace… from hot air balloons to Pilates!
I finished the morning with a wonderful 1-to-1 session with one of my lovely regular clients.
Family time, fresh air, lots of walking, beautiful views, and then doing a job I genuinely love.
Not a bad way to spend a Friday morning with Chris Rock, daughter and pup.
Did anyone else make it to the Fiesta this year? Which was your favourite balloon? 🎈
