Hanging on to the past

When we celebrated the Queen's Platinum Jubilee, the decorations were down as soon as the bank holiday was over. I have noticed on my travels, that many many houses and streets have kept up their union jacks and bunting.

Here was one such street which we stumbled across in Knutsford yesterday. Despite all the colourful flowers, I decided on a black and white conversion to detract from the sky which was doing nothing!
Such a nosalgic scene - the terrace houses overflowing with flowers - the cobbled path and the bunting still hanging up ! Our in our street lasted over the bank holiday and then they were down ! fav

How nice is this, so patriotic and a good idea to keep the union jacks and buntings there after the celebrations, they make people smile with pride

Maybe not wanting to forget the celebrations of an historic day.

Why not keep the happy decorations...we should celebrate something everyday :) This street shot looks super in black and white.

I like the quaintness of this. Good idea to go black and white- I think it gives the place a timeless feel.
