Summaree


I bring to the festive round up
 no soggy bunting,
no street party, 
no flotilla, 
no concert or fly past
(unless you count this one
spotted from the bedroom window),



but mercifully there were Morris dancers





and a sunset 


 of great majesty



to herald the lighting of the beacon.

  1. Despite the Morris dancers - and would Britain ever have been Great without them, I ask myself - your pictures have triggered my troubled psyche into action.

    Yes, I definitely feel a theme tune coming on..

  2. Oh! I thought JofIndia's link would be to The Archers' theme tune.

  3. I turned up too late for our Morris dancers (there were women too) so missed out on all those bells jingling.

    Crikey, you seem to have set JofIndia off!

  5. Very glad to see a beacon as, if we had one locally, it wasn't visible.

  7. You describe "Land of Hope and Glory" as a theme tune, Lucille?

    Good grief, woman! Does the Empire mean nothing to you?!

  8. But it IS a theme tune, for pity's sake. It is the theme tune of the British Empire. Duh. And I really wish Lucille hadn't mentioned it, it's been stuck on autoplay in my head since Sunday and I only just managed to replace it with Flanders & Swann's weather song ("June just rains and never stops/Thirty days and spoils the crops").
