Today has been our official street party. Although the weather has not been great the sun did try to break through the clouds once or twice.
We were out bright and early to erect the gazebo and bring out the tables and chairs, everyone worked together to get it done for the start of the party. So all though a little cold the rain kept off until about 8 o'clock. Then I am afraid it was set in for the rest of the night.
The neighbours who had braved it out and I finally gave in at 10 o'clock. By the time we had cleared away the food and the rest of the furniture and the gazebo off the road, I was soaked to the skin and very very cold.
I came straight in and had a hot shower which went a long way to warming me up. Any bits and bobs, that are left outside can be cleared away by the decorating team tomorrow. As you can see from the pictures we did have a few appearances from her majesty haha, which our old members thought was wonderful. I had organised a picture quiz and we played a game of Mr and Mrs which went down a treat. So, all in all, it was a great day all around.
How sad is the last picture, but as ever we soldier on to the bitter end haha. I have to say the food which the street came together and provided was amazing.
