Third balloon found in The Mull of Kintyre Scotland

10th Nov 2015
Third balloon found in The Mull of Kintyre Scotland

We received a letter dated 25/10/15 stating that one of our balloons had been found on a beach in the Mull of Kintyre in Scotland. "I was walking along the beach near a village called Tayinloan on the Mull of Kintyre in Scotland. I have a caravan there and was on holiday. Whilst searching amongst the seashore for shells and crabs I found this tag which was attached to a balloon. Unfortunately, the balloon was burst. However, I wanted to return your tag to let you know how far your balloon travelled. I am sure your teacher will show you on a map where the beach is. On a very, very clear day I can see the coast of Ireland from this beach. I thought your writing was very good and I imagined you letting go of your balloon on the 25th anniversary school celebrations. I am sure it was a great day. I hope your teacher will let you know I have written back to you."
