Whilst out walking Cookie in Hockley this evening we spotted what we thought was one of the missing balloons...and it was! So we ran over for a chat to see if it wanted to come back home...

Us: Blue balloon! How we've missed your watery hues!

Balloon: (Mischievously) erm...hey, yes I have been off exploring.

Us: Well you didn't get very far, infact you've only made it down the road.

Balloon: But it's been parties, shindigs and merry-making all the way!

Us: Check you out. Ready to come home yet?

Balloon: Don't think so, I've got a BBQ in half an hour.

Us: Nice. We see you're carrying a little thought around with you there ("Free as a lost Balloon..."). Please may we take it for our thought jam?

Balloon: No.

Us: Oh. Well then, see ya! Wouldn't wanna be ya!

Balloon: Smell ya! Shouldn't have to tell ya!

Us: I have a pin in my pocket...

I hope the balloons you find haven't let the freedom over inflate them...it will make them pop eventually.
