Fairground Ride in the Rain by phil_howcroft

Fairground Ride in the Rain

We went to a community fun day in Kimberley, Notts on Thursday with Willow and Alfie (our grandchildren) and Claire (our daughter).

A summer afternoon in August, you'd expect sunshine and blue skies, or maybe fluffy clouds, not persistent rain for 3 hours !!!

We had our picnic in the car as opposed to the park !

It rained most of the time, well all of the time really.

This is Alfie and Willow, on the little train, th one that goes round and round a circular track.

"We want the purple train Papa"

Alfie with his knitted hoodie (from my late mother's next door neighbour, who knits lots of items for both of them) protecting him from the rain , Willow looking a bit wet !!!

BTW : A frame within a frame , a classic composition.

Great shot! The apples haven't fallen far from the tree!!

Well I donโ€™t think either if them care a jot about the rain! They look happy & excited especially little Alfie. You can see it in his little face! Lovely family days!

The composition is just lovely, and they are so sweet. But Alfie looks a tad unsure about this train business!

It's a delightful shot of them both, Phil, and I love Alfie's knitted jacket. (I noticed it straightaway as being hand-knitted!)

Oh, now how cute is that! You must have such fun photographing your grandchildren and Mum and Dad will have first rate photos to look back on too.
(If you see your late mum's neighbour, please do tell her one of your 365er friends - also a knitter - remarked on her beautiful garment and how impressed I was by the beautifully neat stitch tension. )

They are fabulous. As a fan and maker of yarn this and that... the sweater is splendid.

Judith , Wendy , Alison , I've not seen Carol , my late mothers neighbour since 2018, when my mum left Bolton to move to Nottingham to be near her family. Claire and Matt are in contact with her via text messages and phone because parcels of knitted garments arrived at regular intervals. I will let carol know , via Claire , that everyone on 365 loves her knitting ๐Ÿ‘๐Ÿ˜๐Ÿ“ท
