Celebration

It doesn't take much of an excuse for our community to plan a get-to-gether. Yesterday a picnic was held to celebrate the queen's ninetieth birthday. Everyone dug out their picnic chairs and cutlery and brought a contribution of food to share.

A canopy had been set out in the vicarage garden.
A cake baked
and eaten!



Everyone had a lovely time.
(Goodness, what's happening? A bank holiday and now a picnic with NO RAIN!)

      Yes, it's hard to beat lounging about outside with good food and conversation!

    I love that Rosemary. In honor of the Queen's birthday. I love her. They don't make them like herself anymore.

      Oh, I don't know, Donna, I know one or two!
      Annie Leibovitz has taken some photos of the Queen to celebrate her birthday. On an earlier sitting she asked the Queen to remove her crown for a 'less dressy' look. The Queen is reported to have said, "Less dressy? What do you think this is?"

      It was lovely, Merle. Plenty of lawn for the children to run about on while the adults sat about and chatted. (I could say 'gossiped!)

      How nice that would be, Parsnip. And thehamish could join the labrador in the shade of the tree.
