BITS AND BOBS<br />

SPREAD THE WORD<br />

In September, James and Lizzie Dandridge<br />

took their <strong>Viva</strong> along on a hot-air balloon<br />

flight, to celebrate Lizzie’s 30th birthday…<br />

which was back in 2015. It can take a while until<br />

the conditions are just right and, after ten<br />

attempts since her birthday, they finally got<br />

airborne, launching from Hollingbourne near<br />

Leeds Castle and drifting for ten miles over<br />

the Kent countryside. From all accounts, it was<br />

well worth the wait.<br />

And here’s Marita<br />

Hewitt with<br />

her copy of the<br />

August issue, on<br />

Mystery Island:<br />

an uninhabited<br />

dot at the southernmost<br />

point<br />

of the Vanuatu archipelago. The photo was<br />

taken by her husband, Michael, an erstwhile<br />

<strong>Lewes</strong>ian who moved to Australia in 1989. He<br />

keeps up with what’s what in the old country care<br />

of his sister Vicky, a resident of Glynde, who posts<br />

him a copy of <strong>Viva</strong> each month.<br />
