The highlight of dad's weekend......

Made the 70 mile drive from Bristol all worthwhile!
Selina and Pete bought the tickets for the Battle prom before they went to Honduras and didn't want them to go to waste as they were rather expensive. We knew it was all outdoors and the heavy rain on the way down made us think we were in for a thorough soaking..
There was almost 10,000 people there and it was in the grounds of a beautiful and very famous house!!!!!!!
It was a noisy, colourful and very patriotic event
Our simple little picnic was very basic compared to many. Some had flowers, cut glass, candles and champagne on their tables. Us, we had dry crackers, cheese and a bag of crisps. We were half way there before darsh realised he hd left his beautifully made sandwiches in the fridge in Bristol.
However the pretty girls restored his spirits, along with and the fireworks and canons. We got home after midnight and what did he eat for supper?
Yeah..... sandwiches, full of chilli and chopped raw onions!
