Jubilant!

Yesterday school celebrated the Jubilee.  A week early, but some of us are away next weekend, and it also falls at the beginning of half term, so having the school open wasn't really an option.


The sun shone, there were cakes and drinks, bubbles, a bouncy castle and live music.  We all took picnics and for 3 hours or so we just had a lovely time.


I took my stint on the cake stall without major incident, and generally enjoyed being part of our great community.

Anyhow, about an hour before we were set to go, I had that pang of what to wear (I get that a lot!).

The girls had their red/white/blue fake hair strand clipped in place, father and son weren't fussed about playing along, but I had an idea.

Some of this...


...soon became this...


As modelled by my doppelgänger...


Sorted!

  14. Fab! A Union Flag bunting necklace. Inspired. I do not believe you have a statue in the garden that looks like you. I'm not falling for it one little bit. I think that's really a Buddha not a Hadley ;-) xx
