The other week we went to a petting farm birthday party and we came home with a huge bunch of helium balloons.

Now usually all the balloons deflate after a day or so, and they all end up in the bin.

But one hung around for a 9 days! We called her Daisy.

The air from our central heating blew her around the house. We’d find her strolling across the kitchen, or fleeing from the cobwebs, or stuck in a corner above the television, and some mornings she’d be trying to escape out the back door.

We were so sad to see her go.
