Early mornings are usually the quietest time of the day here and it’s when I will be outside checking on the tomatoes. This particular morning, I heard heavy breathing above – rather like the dragon Smaug in The Hobbit – and when I looked up, I saw two hot air balloons. Cue lots of waving!
These balloons are something of a brand in action: they are owned by L’Occitane, the Provençal beauty house founded by Olivier Baussan, who lives close by.
We enjoy Champagne ballooning breakfasts whenever the balloons land nearby during the summer.
