Photo a Day : 05 June 2012

I have a feeling  both the photos below will end up in my Project Life album for this week :)

 I think this has to be the photo for the day as it shows us watching the Diamond Jubilee procession on TV while Alice plays with her dolls house and Mac lies close by. She'll then know what was going on in years to come.

However, I just love this one too! Playing games with Uncle Hugh!! On Monday she saw Hugh playing a game which had cows, sheep and chicken in it.  She loved it. Today when Hugh came through, she headed straight for his room, grabbed a controller and asked for the Moos. Uncle Hugh's now one of her favourite people ;o)

Local Diamond Jubilee Parade

 On Sunday we had a local parade through East Grinstead to celebrate the Queen's Diamond Jubilee. Mum, Emily and I went in to town a bit earlier to have a coffee and see if I could get some photos.

 We all wore some form of red, white and blue to play our little part - Mum's rings were red, white and blue too :)

 Caffe Nero's had their bunting out 

 There were flags ready to be waved and even the rain wasn't dampening people's spirit

 I love people watching and this was the ideal opportunity :)

 Even down to patriotic wellie boots 

umbrellas

and water proofs.

Loved these little ones with their flags and crowns :)

We ended up standing next to this lady and gentleman. They were such fun and made the wait for the parade that much more enjoyable.

And finally, a few shots of the parade itself

Cheering everyone on :)

Emily's friend, Natalie (light blue hoodie on the left) was part of the guides section.

I'm told this bus was from 1952

The Church's part of the procession

with Minister, Geoff Bell and his dog walking the route too.

We then made it home just in time to see the start of the flotilla on the Thames.  What a wonderful weekend it's been and how fantastic to see all the support for the Queen.

Photo a Day catch-up

01 June 2012

 Another blurred photo but I still want to use it in my Project Life album.  This was taken round at Alice's Great Grandma and Great Grandpa's house (my Mum and Dad) where she is quite at home.  She had picked up Mum's headphones and was listening to CBeebies through them :)

 Playing Peek a Boo from behind the washing line pole.  So cute!  (Mac loves to be near Alice and was quite happy to lie there as she played).

03 June 2012

 While Mum, Emily and I were waiting for the Diamond Jubilee Parade to start, we got talking to the lady and gentleman next to us.  They were such fun and had us laughing while we waited.  More photos of the parade to come soon.

As it's a Bank Holiday today (and tomorrow), Jon has been home and he enjoyed being able to get down and play with Alice.
