St George's Day Parade


Alex's scout district was due for a parade along Wimbledon Common and a short service today; this morning about 8, it looked like the parade was doomed - raining steadily. Luckily, it cleared up (then started, then cleared up again!) and the sun even came out for a while.


They assembled on the common, then went off to line up.



I didn't follow the whole parade, just watched them head off...


...then caught up with them a bit later to see them all come along. It was quite sweet actually -


despite Mr "I must make faces at the camera".


Once they passed, another mum and I went along to the village for a cup of coffee... Apparently, if the shop is posh enough, you don't get handles on your cups!


And here they are, waiting to be collected.
