Here's to Our Patriotic Neighbours...

....Who, in a moment of madness, decided to organise a street party in celebration of the royal wedding. Apparently it's the first in our road since the Queen's Coronation way back in 1953, and a good time was had by all.

Just in case anyone missed the fact that we were having a knees up yesterday, someone very considerately hung a reminder on our hedge;



whilst we hung bunting around our windows;



(note to self - I really must get them repainted at some stage over the summer!)

and hung more from our upstairs bedroom window;



Vast quantities of cakes, tea and coffee were made by us all and consumed;



Whilst trestle tables groaned under all manner of delicious edibles;



consumed by newly befriended neighbours.



Children took advantage of the road being closed and played together;



and seemed to relish the notion that for one time only they'd been given permission to chalk messages on the road;



else they simply sat watching events unfurl;



as the band played on......
