Royal Wedding Street Party



An advantage of living in a cul-de-sac is that you are more likely to be able to get permission for a street party. Here they are in the morning (about 10.30), setting up...



And later, post lunch, during the fun trivia quiz that one of the guys put together. I'm afraid Team North did not win. Oh well. It was a good time - the weather co-operated beautifully (if this keeps up, I'll begin to think I no longer live in England) and there were arts & crafts for the kids, sack races, cake competition, music, a telly outside (so as not to miss any wedding coverage which might be happening) and loads of food and drink for all, among other things. The last, hardiest folk went inside well after 8pm (I left not longer after 8 - it was getting very chilly). What a nice idea. There is already talk of doing it again next year for the Diamond Jubilee...

Sounds like a fun day all round Kate. It's my Diamond Jubilee next year too (the big birthday!) How nice of the Queen to celebrate too ;-)
