Arriving fashionably late to the party, I bring you a tale from a previous Jubilee celebration. Back in 1977 when the Queen celebrated her Silver Jubilee I was 7. My school celebrated with a summer fete that was Jubilee themed, including a children's fancy dress competition. I don't remember who came up with the idea but it was decided that I would go as a Jubilee bag! I suspect it may have been to do with the fact that my Dad worked in a factory that produced cardboard boxes so had access to large quantities of paper and card.
Apparently I came 2nd! I don't recall much but do remember it was quite difficult to walk in.
My younger brother also entered but he refused to play along with the Jubilee theme and so went as Robin (side-kick of Batman)
Dad created the card from a large cardboard box, built around my brothers trike!
This story was bought to you as part of Sian's story telling Sunday. Do pop over to check out some other great tales.
I hope you have all had a relaxing Sunday and to those of you enjoying an extra long weekend, have a jubileetastic time!
to post today if I'm honest. Thursdays always find me a little jaded from the Wednesday commute (hats off to all of you that do it 5 days a week) and today my brain feels a little scrambled. However during my daily blog world catch up, I happened across this post on one of my fave blogs "From High in the Sky". Now Sian, the author of the blog, tells a good yarn and this one is no exception. However it was not so much the story that struck a chord, more the photo at the bottom of the post. It immediately made me think of a similar photo of me and my Brother. Well what I remembered as a photo of me and my Brother - turns out it was of my Brother, Mum and Granny! Funny how the mind plays tricks!
