This is the River Festival in my home town said to be the second biggest festival in the UK after Nottinghill Carnival. I think this year there were more people than ever maybe because of the weather. The parade was great and there was a great crush down by the river with all the stalls and events. My family had a get together in the evening there were about 20 of us we had a good evening. My brother and his wife came to stay for the weekend and we made a great collection for the bottle bank. On Sunday we visited a cousin I hadn't seen for about 40 years when I was her bridesmaid. What a weekend I'm still recovering.
This weekend is our May Day holiday today Sunday has been grey windy and not very warm so just the day to go out in the car to visit the Embankment alongside the River Ouse that runs through the town. The colours of the tulips were wonderful eye candy every year the council plants the beds with a lovely display of spring tulips I only wish I could paint. One year I will try an embroidery of some kind. I hope tomorrow our bank holiday Monday the sun will come out.
