UP UP & AWAY BALLOON TECHNIQUES
My dear ladies and occasional gentleman the other evening I went for a walk with my dear friend Gloria. “We need to be back in time to go to the playing field for the BALLOON to go up” enthused Gloria. Well to say I was taken aback would be an understatement! I know that there is an inordinate amount of TURMOIL in the WORLD and it is the anniversary of THE GREAT WAR, WW1 but really what could be occurring of such magnitude on the VILLAGE PLAYING FIELD? As we made our way to the field there was a WHOOSH of HOT AIR, and NO my dear ladies and occasional gentleman, it was not ME! 
This was the CULPRIT.
Not something you expect to see on a TUESDAY evening. It was very exciting and there was quite a TECHNIQUE to getting it UP IN THE AIR. 
We sat on a bench enjoying the GLORIOUS evening sunshine, when Gloria said “wouldn’t it be pleasant to have a glass of wine while we sit here and watch”? Now I am not generally known for my speed but before you could say “UP UP & AWAY” I had nipped home and brought back two GLASSES and a bottle of SAUVIGNON BLANC. We had barely taken a sip, when my dear friend Titania (I hesitate to say any whiff of alcohol and she’s there) joined us on our bench. Nobody can say that Celia LADYGARDEN is selfish, I immediately topped up our glasses and handed Titania the BOTTLE, from which she proceeded to drink from in a ladylike manner.
Unfortunately whilst researching information regarding BALLOON TECHNIQUES I discovered rather shockingly that it had another meaning! So if any gentlemen seeking information regarding their ‘LITTLE SOLDIER’ found my little ‘BLISS’ by mistake, I apologise.
Yours Blushingly
Celia.
Ha ha, I love your posts! I can just imagine you there on your bench, a model of ladylike decorum of course…

My dear lady, thank you, how sweet of you and of course you are absolutely right. Us ladies can get away with anything as long as it is carried out in a ladylike manner.
One does have to be careful when paddling around in the net, the catch can sometimes be rather shocking. I was searching for balloon information perfectly innocently and before I could cover my eyes I’d had an anatomy class in making something small, bigger, that apparently had the same name!
It makes my sacrifices worthwhile, when I have such dear ladies like yourself, reading and enjoying my little tattles. Life is wonderful isn’t it?
Fondest Regards
Celia
