Four more balloons found over the weekend


The first emails I see this Monday morning are from France, which tells me that more balloons have been found!

One was found in the town of Maine et Loire, east of Nantes, another was found on the beach informing us that the balloon had successfully crossed the English Channel near a village called Pleneuf Val-Andre, not so far from the town of Saint-Brieuc, in northern Brittany, and a third balloon was found in a small village called Saint-Aubin-des-Ormeaux, next to a road that crosses a river called the La Sevre. All three of the balloons successfully made it to France.

Also, this morning we had a phone call from a British family who are on holiday in Jersey telling us that they are on St Ouens beach on the west coast of Jersey and have just found a balloon.

That is 12 balloons in total that have been reported with the furthest travelled at the moment reaching Haute Vienne, which is 140 miles north east of Bordeaux, France.
