Carnival
We walked into town and back yesterday, to spend the afternoon at the carnival...part of the Monmouth Festival 2010. It was a hot day and lots of people had turned out to see the brass band, market, carnival floats and a special drive past from over 100 Rolls Royces.
It is 100 years since the death of Charles Rolls, founder of Rolls Royce. The cars drove past the newly spruced up Town Hall and his memorial statue in Agincourt Square.
It was a lovely occasion...people smiling and cheering as the runners ran past on their way to the Kymin Dash challenge.
I smiled and cheered as I spotted 2 charity shops open on a sunday.
Tel smiled as he noticed there were no crowd control barriers along the road as the carnival went by.... children and dogs were kept under control and we all survived unscathed! Phew.
