Well we tried, it did look better in reality, and you can just see Olivia's hand again, still waving goodbye. as we drove along we found the truck so she came along behind us, we drove up past the Visitor Centre and gave loud toots on the horn, they came out and waved us both by. Hoorahs and grins all round.
What with all the partying of the last weekend I quite forgot my fairy lights to decorate the float with on its last homeward journey. So I phoned up Vinnie's mum, they are featured in the Triennial book on Pae White's Barking Rocks and she bought all her Christmas lights. Whilst I was attaching the lights she set to work taking out the add ons, what else are friends for?
On the last day the sun was shining gently, September sun is very different to August sun and the air was different too. We had lots of folk who knew about the float and wanted to take part. The lower Leas park is such a delight.
