Our next door neighbours had covered their garden in balloons, likely for a child's party, and these must have been escapes. The day was punctuated at irregular intervals by their sudden and explosive pops.

From Gabriel's Wharf, 8th July 2007
The South Bank was in party mood, for the cloud-heavy backdrop to this last flight is misleading - it had been a sunny day and a sunny weekend, the first for a while. Plenty of people out, ice cream, children, street artists and many attendant balloons. I think this was a Giraffe one; the cafe/restaurant had some kind of promotion on, and had printed hundreds of orange balloons to give to wide-eyed toddlers. Not all could hold on.

Another coincidence - not twenty minutes after seeing the one below, this one appeared. The coincidences ended there though; no red-garbed cyclist came past to raise eyebrows further.

Lovely pub garden, lousy view. This yellow brightened the grey and brick scene on a grey day. The cyclist, adding his own yellow, was a pure coincidence.
Old Home Farm, East Sussex, 1st July 2007
My birthday, although the balloon-festooned party the night before, from which this was an escape, was totally unrelated to that. It made it through the night in the pondside reed beds, but when I returned before leaving it had gone.
