We held a pensioners' party to mark St George's Day this afternoon. A traditional East End band played old favorites (think Chas & Dave!!!) and about 50 guests enjoyed a little dance and sing-a-long followed by a fish n' chip dinner.
I invited the local rag along as I knew a few politicians would be coming, and sure enough, a couple of Lib Dem councillors and two prospective Tory MPs showed up... Only ever see them at election time!!! Hmmm.....
The photographer from the paper clearly had a preset idea of what to take... She turned up, sat these three together, took a few snaps and was off to her next assignment... Staged, but it's a nice story and good publicity for work.
Having left early, I paid no attention to the train notice board, jumped on the first available train and ended up in Laindon, somewhere in mid-Essex! A one hour detour and I eventually made it home...
Glorious weather all week... going to continue over the weekend...hurray :-)
