Carnival weekend and tea in the garden

Quite a full day, some shopping this morning and then helping the fold from Skipsea getting ready for the charity event in the garden. I took a break to go into the spare bedroom and take some photos of the parade going by. The French windows open and Pandora likes to investigate the top of the porch. The pictures also show the people waiting, sitting on the public sitting wall!



















The ladies were getting scones buttered with cream, jam and strawberries while others were setting out the tables and chairs and getting the tombola ready. I was helping out and sat at the table to sell people tickets for a while because Tina had to go round to the parish hall. Some fair folk had open a window and the lock of the door to attach their hose to the tap in the hall so that they had water at their caravan! So the hall was unsafe! Steve and Keith would the hose up and took it back and the owners denied breaking on! Hopefully the security cameras have clear images! Just too one photo in the garden, before it got a bit busier. It wasn’t overly busy but I tried to go and talk to all the folk that came in and they enjoyed sitting in the garden and the scones were delicious!
When we had finished clearing up and the workers and visitors were all gone I sat in the walled garden for a bit. Blue doesn’t often sit on laps and obviously wanted to come onto the chair with me, so I move across as far as I could and she squashed in beside me for a bit!
If I have the energy I may go and take some photos of the fair when it gets dark!

  1. Well the parade had a good turnout and you got some good pics. Perfect vantage point considering the sitting wall was full 😊
    Cheeky damn fair people! I'd have give their hose back in 6 inch lehgths! Hope you made a reasonable amount from it all. Booting tomorrow?

  2. I think they made £300 but an awful lot of work and effort involved. But met some nice people and they enjoyed sitting and chatting in the garden.
