For #TBT I thought I would show you some of the pictures of the Boys from past Carnivals in the Village.

When Eldest was in the parade with Scouts I would take Youngest on some of the fairground rides before it got too busy.  Here he is in the Teacups from 2005 (he was 5 years old)

Here is Youngest in his first parade with Beavers as an Oompa Loompa.  Jayne and I were talking about this at our lunch on Tuesday.  This was 2006 and he was six.

This was at the Duck Race in 2011.  All the years we have bought Ducks in the races this was the only time we won and it was not us that won, it was Treacle!  Youngest collected it for her and he bought her a treat with the winnings!

Eldest dressed as an “old” Scout in the Carnival Parade celebrating 100 Years of Scouting

Youngest in the same Parade in his Beaver uniform.

Eldest liked it as he got older that he could actually help with the Carnival events.  Here he is in 2013 stood in the brook waiting to catch the Ducks at the finish.  He was 18 here.

So far all the events have gone well with only rain last night at the Duck Race so they all came home rather damp!  At the moment the weather is supposed to be okay for the rest of the events including Saturday, the main day!  Finger’s crossed.

Because it has been a chaotic week, tomorrow is home jobs day and grocery shopping and at the weekend I am hoping to get things sorted in my sewing room!!!

Hugs & Love, Susie & Coco xx
