Bunting up! by happypat

Bunting up!

I stopped in the middle of the road as we were driving Jack home yesterday. No one behind me so I managed to get a quick shot.
It’s normally the Whit Festival in Garstang on the bank holiday Monday but it’s on Friday this week instead.
Lots of decorated floats & the crowning of the festival queen.
It’s certainly going to be a full on few days from Thursday onwards.

My iPad was updated during the night & I’ve had problems loading 365 tonight. A security problem I think but it seems OK now.

Three good things:
1. We have the wood burner on tonight & I can see smoke coming out of all out immediate neighbours chimneys!
2. We have been pruning a shrub we moved last year & there are a lot of dead branches….green bin tomorrow so we got round to doing it.
3. The plumber came to fix a small problem in the bathroom with one oh the fixtures.
It’s going to be a busy place soon, so luckily you got your in early with your photo of the preparations. Looks great.

Buntings from all corners of the world it seems ! Doesn't it brighten things up and looks so festive !
I had the same problem with getting onto 365 for security reasons but OK now -- I had come to the conclusion it was the result of the small tremor we had in Wellington and the Telford area around 3.30p( I did not feel anything of it ! although Fb is buzzing about it !! ). Must pop out now to try and find something to post !!

@beryl Jack looked online & he said there did seem to be a slight problem with posting today. I blamed the update. I never like them as it always seems to add some tiny difference to iPad life! 🤣

This looks great, love the dappled sky. I also had trouble posting my pic today, then all of a sudden it was back again!

A lovely sight. I know your festival will be wonderful now that Covid restrictions are a thing of the past.

That is a lot of bunting

Wow doesn't it look good. I still remember the buntings for the coronation, who would think we would now be celebrating the jubilee 70 years later.

Well decorated

Love the bunting!

You have even caught a guy on a long ladder and lots of helpers all helping! What a funny word bunting is.!

@maggiemae Yes it is, the more you say it the weirder it is! Running out of bunting here they say!! I have lots but did t want to overdo it! We used to decorate our lane when we lived at the farm….Harry says there isn’t a flag up there this year….they need someone t to organise it…it always needs someone . We have two just a few doors away who are great organisers! 😀

@onewing Yes so long on the throne…even if you are not a Royalist it’s a great achievement….she has given her life to Queenlie duties!

@louannwarren Yes we have stopped worrying about Covid it seems! 😀

@happypat I think it is always as in my case, that we have been the organisers for so many things in the past, its nice to take a back seat!
