Three quarters of the way through the Jubilee Weekend, we're pausing for breath and - at 8.30pm - the sun is in the sky!
We started the weekend at the Herts County Show with George, Harriet and Beatrix, Arada, Matt and Benji. The children were captivated by the 'Devil's Horsemen' stunt riders and the tractor display in equal measure. We saw prize chickens, sheep, goats, alpacas, horses and (huge) heffers; enjoyed pies, donuts, a picnic, black pudding sausage and veggie tagine; and were entertained by Suffolk Punch horses, alpacas, dancing sheep, mounted games and a pack of beagles. We finished the day in the glorious sunshine.
As the rain really set in on Sunday, we all found shelter in town for a lovely Bank Holiday lunch, heading home afterwards to watch the river pageant unfold from the comfort of the sofa. We watched the excellent Super 8, which I'd recommend to anyone who wishes they still made films like E.T.
Today, Toby, Rachel, Archie and baby Harry came to visit. We ducked the rain showers and had a lovely day, managing to spend a little time in the garden and in the park (between yet more delicious meals). Tomorrow, we're off to see Eug, Tim and Adella, who have sensibly decided to cancel the barbeque and book a table in a nearby pub!
