Just posted yesterday's blog as I was interrupted when writing it then didn't get back to it. Taylors brought lunch over so we spent the afternoon enjoying a 'Jubilee picnic' in the front room. Henry had a new Lego model to build and played with it happily. He also danced to tracks from Graceland that we listened to through the surround sound. The boy's got rhythm! The rain held off allowing the Jubilee Concert to get under way on a fine evening. We watched it after dinner to find it a mixed bag. Some good performers, but some definitely past sell by date. Elton John and Paul McCartney were embarrassing, but the light show projected on the front of the palace while Madness performed on the roof was absolutely stunning. The show ended with a magnificent firework display which dwarfed everything which had gone before. The effect was such that I simply had to have an Armagnac before retiring. Went to Bluewater today. Spent time 'walking' round the lake looking at the spring flowers and the Coot chicks. Revived memories of taking Henry there sometimes when he was a toddler. There was a chilly breeze and it was good to make our way back to Cote for a drink and a snack. We drove to Homebase to pick up some gro-bags along with a few other bits for the garden. Unfortunately it had come on to rain, so we didn't waste any time in doing this. On returning home I decided that the day was sufficiently dull for it to be Pimm's o'clock!
