Yesterday, I found this card sitting outside my front door. I love it! It's a card which was previously attached to a balloon and set free all the way from Carshalton Carnival in Surrey, which has since floated and found its way to Peckham, London. Apparently a prize will be sent to the finder of the balloon which has travelled the farthest. It's very message in a bottle... You can follow the finding of the balloons by clicking: here which will take you onto the main carnival webpage, from which there is a tracking page attached. One has already been found in Holland, which is incredible...!
If you have time, check out their photo archive. There are some wonderful photographs showing the floats / costumes etc. One of my favourites being the 'meals on wheels' van with a Papier-mâché elephant on the top.

Hello - I'm peter McBride and am the Chairman of Carshalton Carnival. Am glad the balloon found it's way to your front door!
Please post it back - you may win a prize!
A footnote to my previous comment - the winning balloon was found and returned from Germany - over 500km in distance!
