Street Party June 5th

st part

 

We organised a celebratory lunch, in the closed off road by the Broadoak Triangle, using tables and chairs, crockery etc. moved up from the village hall.
Kick off was at 12.30, with a glass of bubbly. Everyone was encouraged
to bring a side dish or pudding for 4-6 people, to share with everbody else.

We had 80+ covers, which was a bit cramped in the small area we'd closed off, but all the more jolly for it. The weather held off during the first course, ( coronation chicken, Jubilee chicken and a variety of salads ). However, the rain came in with the puddings, which became a little soupy, but very tasty for all that ... and the party broke up soon after with many of us squelching home to get changed!

A true and typical British celebration.
