Thanks but no thanks. I think I'll pass.
Went to Newtown for odds and sods. Loads of traffic on the roads. I've never seen so much round here.

No street party down there, to bring folk into town?

No. It's the main A470 here which is the main road north to south ( or the other way round) so no chance of any sheet parties. And the kids are so scattered round because it's farming country, so there went many kids

One big party would stop any traffic.
Is that the swear filter kicking in, again.
Maybe the kids are driving to work now.

Morning all . Is anyone off to a jubilee street party ? I have read about them being country wide. But there certainly isn’t any going on in our street or even in my local area and tbh I don’t know anybody that going to one.
There seem to be more going on in the local villages , mrs exlaser has been on a club ride this morning and said a lot of them were all decorated with events planed for today or tomorrow.

I’ve still got my medal tucked away in a box that I got when in the prison service. Think all police, prison service, fire service, etc got one if they were a serving member.
here you go. Jubilee medal and long service medal.

Not seen a single flag or bunting in the area.
One neighbour did bounce the idea of a street party but no one was interested.
You never heard my Ex during the divorce
Do I get the opinion that you didn't think a lot of your ex
I didn't get my walk in. My brain said yes but my legs said no.
I watched the jubilee thingy in London. The horse guards and other guards were amazing as was the fly past.
I am not a royalist in any way but take my hat off to the precision and all who took part.

There's a street party going on in the next road, it's about 30-40 houses all told in an L shape. I've been seeing a fair bit of bunting and flags locally.
My earliest memory is of being in a big field with my elder brother and a man on a stage throwing coins to the children. It must have been the Coronation in 1953 which would be about right as I would have been 4 years old, and that's the age where long term memories start to be stored iirc.
Meanwhile, the sun is shining, I've done a bit of weeding and polished off the last of the cherry cake. I'm still feeling fragile following yesterdays visit to the Barking Cat beer festival. They had 20 guest beers, with the taps being numbered 1-20. I thought it best to start with No 1 and work my way sequentially through the beers until I'd had enough. I stuck to halves, a sensible choice given that the first beer was a coconut stout at 6.7%
