What to do over a 4 Day Vacation Weekend when dwelling alone? That was the Query.
The unusual factor is I am unable to bear in mind something concerning the different Jubilees we have had for the Queen.
In 1977 perhaps we had a particular celebration for Cub Scouts and a Silver Jubilee Badge? What concerning the fiftieth in 2002? ……….. we had been in our tenth 12 months on the smallholding, perhaps we had been too busy to do something.
Anyway, yesterday after noon I watched a number of the TV protection simply to see the 70 planes flypast over Buckingham Palace, wishing I lived someplace beneath the route. On the smallholding on earlier flypasts we typically caught a number of the planes as they joined in to observe the route of the A12 right down to London, however this village is just too far west. The Queen was nicely sufficient to seem on the balcony with a lot of the household, which was good, she appeared on tremendous type for a 96 12 months outdated. She was born in 1926 the identical 12 months as my Mum – however Mum died on the too early age of 73
Yesterday, late night, was the Beacon Lighting which I did not go to, because the Beacon (put up 1977 like many others) is in a part of the village which is a hamlet 2 miles away………. as a result of that is the best a part of the village……. and doubtless the roads had been chock a block with numerous folks driving there. Might need ventured out if I would acquired lights for my bike!
Over the weekend there are many Platinum Jubilee issues organised in lots of the villages throughout, and in my village there is a particular pageant on the Church this afternoon.
Son, Daughter in Legislation, Youngest Granddaughter and Center Grandson are coming over so we will all go. No thought what the Youngsters’s Actions are however I just like the sound of the afternoon teas. Not far to come back residence both!
Yesterday afternoon I walked around the village to see who was prone to win the adorned home competitors.
Not me, with my two bits of bunting, on the left – I’ve not even entered. Subsequent door neighbours have gotten numerous flags and bunting and a giant seventieth Jubilee Signal on the storage door and I feel they’ve one thing else deliberate too – undecided what – we will see.
A brand new large Publish Field topper has appeared !
Tomorrow I shall be visiting Son’s village for a glance to see what’s occurring there – a Fete on the Village Inexperienced I feel. On Sunday the climate forecast is a bit iffy and there is not a lot occurring in order that shall be a day to remain at residence.
I shall be again Monday with images from the Suffolk Present the place I went final Tuesday.
Have a superb weekend
Sue
