St George's Day

On Saturday our local high street was closed for St George's Day celebrations and Jim was asked by the local business association to take some pictures. We were going to attend anyway and thankfully the weather was okay......a few drops of rain, but nothing compared to the last few days.

There was a procession lead by some proudly dressed gentleman (please forgive my lack of military knowledge).

My favourites, the Harley-Davidson bikers - the sound of their engines really was like music to my ears.


The Harley's were behind some wonderful old vespa's and other scooters with an amazing amount of lights. (I love the hooters on this one).


The Morris Dancers were really very brilliant and this chap turned and beamed at me as I took his photo.


The cakes were yummy.


Daisy pondered over her choice.


And chose one with a red rose with lots of cream and silver glitter.


And Ollie had fun on the teacup.



All in all it was a fab day. These are just some of the pictures I took and I am already looking forward to next years.

Hope you all had a wonderful weekend.

Sunday Sketches

Happy Happy Sunday to you all. I am liking this habit of posting an entry for Sunday Sketches. Last year I did quite a few but other stuff just got in the way so it's great to feel like I am back!

Here's the finished Desert Island Pip. Had fun again just letting my imagination run free. Wonder if she will find any treasure?

Hope you are all having a wonderful weekend. We went to the local St George's Day celebrations yesterday and had a fab time. Jim was taking pictures for the local Business Association and I snuck a few in too. It really was a great procession and I especially loved the Harley's and the mopeds at the end. The noise was deafening but absolutely wonderful. I will post some more pictures soon but in the meantime, please head over to Sophia's blog to check out the other entries.

Happy Sunday.
