Mrs Mayor by happypat

Mrs Mayor

The Mayor of Garstang was out & about on market day.
She was handing out leaflets but she didn’t give me one!

I have no idea what her name is but she’s been the Mayor for a long time & never looks any older.
I have just googled her name & it turns out she isn’t the mayor at all now only as in a public figure promoting the town.
The costume fits still so she’s still doing her but….good for visitors.
The current mayor is a man who is most likely at work…..she looks the part on market day anyway!

Three good things:
1. We got our telephone fixed! It was a complicated problem to do with the right plug ins. I’m still not confident it works absolutely correctly but fingers crossed!!
2. A visit to the library….the proper library not the van….I always love all those books to browse.
3. Awake in the night but I had charged up my Kindle & I read half of my sample book of Sue Blacks autobiography…..not the best middle if the night reading as it was all about how she dissected her first human body for her training. I enjoyed it though.
How interesting! No longer a mayor but looks like one. Love it!

Ha ha !! what a fake -- she must love the uniform. I do suppose it adds colour and interest in the place on market day! Isn't tablets and Kindle so good on a sleepless period in the night - I tend to play scrabble until my brain no longer works !!

@beryl @casablanca Yes a complete fake!! 🤣🤣🤣 I did think she had been at it for years….I think she will only give up when she can’t fit the uniform!

How interesting. Probably still wearing the outfit because she wants to be noticed.

Hope you sleep better tonight. I was awake in the night a couple of nights ago but slept like a log last night.

Mayors are only in office for a year, the Mayor of Nottingham is a friend :)

We have a lady who dresses up as the Queen! What will she do now!

What a lovely street candid. Mrs Mayor looks awfully formal!

Ah like a figurehead tourist mayor. What fun, although the older lady to her left trying to get by doesn't seem impressed! 🤣

Lovely shot. It must be fun for her to continue wearing the costume of mayor.

@phil_howcroft Well this one has been in that outfit for the last five years at least if not more! She is very sociable so they must let her continue!

A public face and nicely done too. I bet she enjoys the role!
