Happy Days

This hen party must have been amazed by their luck with the weather. This was the most tasteful of three lots of 'get up' I encountered today and a lot more tasteful than most!
On a sadder note I've had to bury Hedgy the hedgehog. I don't know why he died but he seemed to have an injured front foot (I didn't look too closely as this is day 3 - I wanted to be sure that he wasn't sleeping deeply!). I'm sure in hedgehog heaven he doesn't have a spaniel barking at him....
Hedgehogs have been dying for strange reasons in our gardens..I wonder if there is some strange disease around like Myxomatosis in rabbits? Poor thing.
This looks a very classy hen party beats the ones at Blackpool hands down!!! No learner plates there.. although are there any learners left!!!!!
Well done to your intrepid Karate competitors too , they did so well in the competition...who needs the Olympics?

@happypat LOL - you do have to laugh when you see some of the L-plate wearers! Thanks on the karate front - it's great news - they are going to be embarrassed coming through the airport in GB tracksuits... Poor Hedgy - he looked a bit scruffy when he was alive but he didn't seem to be ill or I would have taken him off to rescue - makes you wonder about viruses.

@judithg Is there a chance that Rachel might make the Olympic GB team one day do you think & would that be her goal?
July 21st, 2012  
such a lovely picture!
July 21st, 2012  
Nice candid. Looks as if they were all having a good time - with sunshine and all!

@happypat Well karate is a Martial Art and not a sport so it won't ever be in the Olympics. Judo and Tae Kwon Do are sports so they do feature. Tae Kwon Do is the nearest thing - she carefully chose a University with a Tang Soo Do karate club within reach but if she doesn't get in there she may have to train in Tae Kwon Do to keep fit and strong. They are off to watch our very good TKD team in the Olympics as it's the nearest they can get!

Extremely thoughtful 'get up' by the girls - actually looks very nice! Wonder what is in the bags, could be tiny little sandwiches to complete the look?!
Judith I had a sad time today too, Sadie one of my two remaining brown hens died today, I try not to get too attached to them but its always hard.

Sad to hear about your spikey little friend ..... im sure you did you best for him . What A perfect day for messing about on the river !! nice picture

Poor Hedgy :(
I think these ladies look wonderful. I've never been to a hen party, thank goodness, but if I did I wouldn't mind it looking like this! Also, I like the angle you took this at - seems to add to the festivities :)
July 21st, 2012  
I like the angle of the shot, all the matching 'boaters' - but where's the champagne?
July 21st, 2012  
@tishpics Oh that's a sad day - how long does a hen live when allowed to go the full distance? Just wondering at what point I need to brace myself!
July 21st, 2012  
Love the hats. Such a pity about Hedgy.
July 21st, 2012  
@judithg Well they can make four or even five I think. This one was only three and just seemed to go downhill fast.
July 21st, 2012  
Oh ...poor old hedgy :( Good shot of the hens though, like the colour treatment particularly.
July 21st, 2012  
This is a great capture, very classy for a hen party! Such a shame about your hedgehog :(
July 21st, 2012  
Oh, that's sad about the hedgehog. Very nice picture though.
July 21st, 2012  
Love the hats - and how you've processed the color - looks like an old photo. Great composition, too! Sorry about Hedgy.
July 21st, 2012  
Fab shot
July 21st, 2012  
What a fun shot! I love the hats!
July 22nd, 2012  
they look very reserved but maybe it was just early. I often wondered about the 'L' plates as well LOL I missed about the hedgehog, that is a bit sad.
July 22nd, 2012  
Love the shot Judith - great capture. The processing suits the tone so well. Sorry about Hedgy - hopefully he is resting peacefully.
July 22nd, 2012  
Beautiful POV in this shot, Judith. i also love the tones. Sorry about the hedgehog.
July 22nd, 2012
