MONDAY MORNING SUNSHINE

It is a beautifully sunny Monday morning and ballons are beginning to be found now. That's 3 now and only another 97 to go, well not really as several are still wrapped round the telephone wires in Long Stratton and a few are in the field behind my house in Topcroft, never really got off the ground, but the kids enjoyed letting them go friday morning, who am i to argue. The finds have all been in more or less the same area, Poringland, Brooke and now Shotesham. Prizes will be won by the launcher and the finder, so keep the calls coming, we will decide the top prize for the best story and anounce it at the end of next week. Iwill just share this with you though, Kate phoned me this morning and said she had seen on the blog that her balloon had been found, she had taken it home to Kirstead to let it go in the garden, reported finding was in Poringland so it went a little way up the road, it was then taken home to Mrs F's house, can you believe it, in Kirstead. We are now offering round trip balloon flights.....ha ha.

That's it from me for now i need to go and look through the Willow Tree catalogue and do that order i was telling you about the other day. We have some great gift ideas in stock from the Willow Tree range so have a look on our website and make a start on that Christmas list.

bye for now

HAPPY BIRTHDAY TO THE WISHING TREE

Today is the day we have all been waiting for, The Wishing Tree is now 1 year old, it's official.

It dosn't seem possible that it was a whole year ago that we first opened the doors.

HAPPY BIRTHDAY TO US

So on with the week and on with the fun, the ballons are starting to come in and go out already, the wind is strong today so we are hoping they will be far travelled when we hear back. It only costs £1 to enter and launch your balloon, and a prize for each one returned as well as a special prize for the one which creates the best story or travels the furthest. The people who return the balloons also get a prize as a reward for playing the game. So come in and join us and get involved. The balloons have been supplied by Court House Occasions, the card and gift shop in Long Stratton. so we thank them for helping us with this and hope you visit their shop too while you're here.
