Sawrey May Queen 09

hawkshead wind band, who played beautifully




Today we had Sawrey May Queen. We set up the hall this morning, when it was sunny and bright. We helped the committee set up and played at Braithwaite Hall. Then we had a rehearsal and watched the Maypole Dancers. After lunch, we joined all the children in the village for the parade between the villages. The queen and I rode on the carriage( thanks to Mr Long for bringing that along). The new queen was crowned, saint George fought the dragon and the dancers danced around the maypole. Then we had fun at the stalls. I helped run the tombola ( I won some bubbles and sweets when I had a go) and Ally ran the Treasure Hunt. It rained when the dancers were dancing but no one minded, they just kept on dancing and were very very good. I had a burger ( thanks to Mr Barr and Mr Haddow) It was a great day

wet sunday

had a very lazy day, after our evening of beauty last night. Hardly went out side and did not dare take the camera. At lunch time we had a huge hail storm and it rained for ages but was quite sunny later this afternoon. Watched tv, did some tai chi and had pizza for tea. May fair next week so will post lots of pics maybe not till Monday ( I will get mum to do it as I will be at school and brownies) Bye for now

thes pics were not on the blog properly

rst of the day

We came home and did some Pilates, yes Pilates. It was nice and relaxing. Now we are going to tend to our pets on facebook. I have a puppy called Lucy and Ally a kitten called Razza. I hope to get a horse ( only a facebook one not a real one)
Tonight we are having a girly night ( maybe not Ally) with a long bath and a facial.
Here are some lambs, the village again and our post box which has GR which stands for George Rex. Nowadays, post boxes have Elizabeth Regina on them and there are lots with VR- Victoria Regina. As George was not on the throne as long as his Granny or Great grand daughter (our Queen) there are fewer of the GR ones . History lesson ends now. Hoping for a day in tomorrow, helping Mum sort the dining room out in time for our new carpet being fitted next week. Thanks for watching

saturday

Miserable weather to begin with. Tidied my bedroom and Ally helped put away tesco order. We went for a walk despite the rain and had lunch at the Sawrey Hotel. I had sausage and chips, Ally and mum had a sandwich. It was very good, of course, as my auntie cooked it.
It was raining very hard, on the way home and I whined like a teenager as I was cold and wet. Mum and Ally walked on, quickly and were nice and warm. Three weeks ago, we were paddling in the beck!!!
Here are some photos of the church, the beck ( best bridge in the world for pooh sticks) and the village. It is very pretty even in the rain

hope to go for a walk tomorrow and promise to take the camera. Ally took some of these pics by the way

Sorry for the wait, too much homework. We will be blogging weekly now, so a good night to check will be Sunday That should give us all weekend to get it all sorted.
This week we had a choir practice for a concert we are involved in, at the end of the month. I am also going to play the recorder. I will be playing Sol e Mare. It has been a wet and windy week so not too many bright photos We went to the ferry ( which is off for a few weeks being serviced), last night and took these pics.
