As you *may* have noticed, this last weekend has been the Diamond Jubilee. I've been off all week and so was suitably excited by the time Friday rolled around. I loved the documentary on BBC One, with the Prince of Wales watching childhood home videos, a truly lovely show which showed another side to the Royal family.
Saturday, despite all the weather forecasts was gorgeously sunny! We went to the Jubilee Fete in a park in town and had a lovely time, eating cake, watching donkey rides and maypole dancing and mulling over the outrageous size of sheep testicles....
The Park, in the wonderful sunshine.
The cute donkeys :)
Check out the size of THOSE bad boys lol!
We finished off with a stroll along the seafront, arriving home just minutes before the heavens opened! How's that for timing?
Sunday was a Barnsley visit, and despite the weather Hague had a wonderful time with the boys whilst I tried to watch the outrageously bad coverage of the Thames Pageant on iPlayer....seriously, how hard is it to actually show the boats and hear the music?? Seriously bad work from Auntie Beeb :(
Monday had been decreed a lazy day (by me) so we had a few beers and relaxed until the evening when we headed out again for the lighting of the beacon and fireworks (boy, do I LOVE fireworks lol). It was packed on the sea front, full of people out to celebrate and enjoy themselves!
Fireworks (red, white and blue of course)
Jubilee Beacon
The fireworks were fantastic, all red, white or blue and it gave me a chance to practice firework photography too!
Tuesday heralded the 6th birthday of my youngest Niece Carys, a lovely way to end a lovely weekend, with family and a very excited little girl playing her new guitar and showing off her red, white and blue dress.
Shame every weekend can't be like this eh? Gawd Bless Ya, Your Maj :)
