We all need a bit of colour in our lives don't we?......and I have been wanting to buy some vintage bunting for the Flower Show for ages now. Yesterday the first lot was delivered, and this morning on a glum and overcast Friday , Sailor John , the Show Treasurer and I played around measuring yards of pretty cotton flags from window to window.
Waiting for the drizzle outside to stop, I took a few photos around the Hall, mentally working out where everything was to placed at show time.
The Old Eisteddfod Chairs from 1906
Auntil Gladys in her rain mack out visiting
The Hall noticeboard
The new lavender border on the village green
Yes we need a bit of colour on a gloomy Friday
The bunting looks lovely, but I have a slight OCD problem, so I'd love to be able to come and straighten it all out.....it's twisted....AAARRRGGGHHH!!!!!
ReplyDeleteI wasn't going to say anything, glad you did first, LE
DeleteHello! What's up? The usual quick commenters must be asleep. Come on! Get lively! John needs his daily fix. Scotch eggs that is!!
ReplyDeleteLooks great! My mother-in-law makes bunting :-)
ReplyDeleteIt looks lovely . Hope you are ok , I am sure it's been a stressful time with Meg . Hope Chris has some time off so you can spend some time together over the weekend . Perhaps a therapeutic scotch egg might be nice for a treat ....
ReplyDeleteLooks like a wonderful place to live.
ReplyDeleteBack to the 1950's? Trilbies and Oxford bags. Black and white TV's flickering. Radio announcers with plums in their gobs. Aunt Gladys even more youthful and rationing at the shops. There'll Always be an England...and Wales of course!
ReplyDeleteBeautiful! and i love the lavender border
ReplyDeleteOoh I could make some strings for Aunty Glad's sale table!
ReplyDeletePlease do
Delete,
I will! I can make a fair bit and it weighs so little it's easy to post :)
DeleteIt's going to be another successful year. I'm very sorry I didn't have a veggie critter to submit. Apparently last year was the only idea I have about such things.
ReplyDeleteI love the century-old chairs!
ReplyDeleteLove the chairs, the bunting, the drizzle, Aunty Glad's mac. All looks so English - sorry - Welsh!
ReplyDeleteLove your bunting! I had some colour this morning... beetroot face! Postie seemed a bit taken aback as I opened the door, Probably due to the biscuit crumbs covering my left eyebrow! I had rammed the last biccy in quickly before the dogs saw it, and it exploded slightly. The tales of a greedy person!
ReplyDeletemakes me sort of homesick........at least we are going to have typical British weather all weekend.........rain, rain and more rain!
ReplyDeleteAuntie Glad is the most colorful!
ReplyDeleteWhat is 'drizzle'?

DeleteI see you're getting some useful practice in for when King Chas takes over. You're going to be in your element!
ReplyDeleteSeen Bunty recently?
ReplyDeleteLoving all that bunting and the pretty village shots!
ReplyDeleteLovely secret shot of Aunt Gladys (delivering a batch of scones??). I love bunting - it jollies the place up no end.
ReplyDeleteThe best picture of all is Auntie Gladys.
ReplyDeleteWHERE DID YOU GET THE BUNTING? I need some.
ReplyDeleteI love these pictures. Oh John Gray- you do live in a magical place. Thanks for the shot of Auntie Glad especially.
Bunting is a relatively new thing here in the US. I absolutely love it. It all looks so sweet. Rain can't dampen the spirit of the place.
ReplyDeleteI love the colour of Auntie Glad's mac. The bunting looks great!
ReplyDeleteOMG those chairs! To die for!
ReplyDeleteDrizzle is all we keep getting here ... my potatoes in the veggie patch need RAIN, proper Welsh RAIN ... where is it when you need it. A good downpour overnight for the next two or three nights would be perfect.
ReplyDeleteThe bunting looks lovely and really will give the hall a very 1950's feel on the day. I hope it's not hanging as low as it looks like it is in the photos or you'll be garrotting a few folk!!
You can't beat a good string of bunting, and that looks like it to me. The hall looks lovely John, will definitely add to the flower shows atmosphere.
ReplyDeleteNothing to do with bunting really, but good news from the USA on marriage! Looks as though they're moving into the 21 st century at last!
ReplyDeleteSO PRETTY ! I love bunting x
ReplyDeleteLove the 1906 chair. And your bunting is really cheerfully vintage. xx
ReplyDeleteThe old Eisteddfod chairs are magnificent. Judging by the cushion, not too comfortable though.
ReplyDeleteSo pretty.
ReplyDeleteI must look up the time when I need to send my card and e-mail my veggie !
cheers, parsnip
