I left it to this morning to go and look for the box in the loft,. Of course I couldn't find it.
Instead, I've decorated our house with bunting from DH's 60th birthday. minus the "Happy Birthday" bits. I almost didn't put it up. As I unwrapped each bag, I was amazed at how beautifully I'd folded, pressed and wrapped it. I'd even pinned "front" to the front of each run (the bunting is double sided).
I nearly put it away, but the weather was fine, so I hung it out. I put some Toy Story bunting up across the windows of a neighbour who is shielding (after asking, I hasten to add).
We spent a pleasant hour on sitting on chairs on the driveway, having our tea and sadwiches, chatting to our next door neighbour (more than 2 metres apart).
I learned a lot about Fortnite from one of the children.
Quite a lot of the street turned out. Some, like us, were in their front gardens; some were on the pavement; the people in the flats had something in the communal gardens behind the flats.
We were so lucky with the weather.
