This is me being serious. I tease so much I have to start with that! I live on the edge of the countryside;lots of thatched cottages around.
There is a huge firework party nearby but what bothers me is how many lanterns are floating by. Are they a danger or am I being over imaginative about what happens if one lands on a cottage?
Boo. Thank you for that. Even more dangerous than I imagined. I`ve always refused to have anything to do with a balloon release because of the harm to wildlife. Will add these to my nag about list.
lets hope they all float harmlessley by gness...i guess its a matter of luck really..maybe they are using the eco friendly ones...nevertheless its a worry in the area in which you live...
I would too, having lived in one in the Neths and seen a neighbour with thatch go up on NY's Eve - and we were six down the row of farmhouses, however, a good distance between the houses....
I'd be worried if they were closeby! I'm not far from Manchester Airport and they ask for people to only let them off in a certain time period on New Year's Eve to minimise any problems for aircraft.
A friend of mine is a vet and said they are also dangerous for cows.
