That time of year again (2)

So - this was Waterbeach Brass, in the middle of an enthusiastic rendition of Born Free. I don't think we got the film medley this year, although I think I might have heard Eye of the Tiger in the distance... I really don't mean to snark them because they play really well; but as an ex-trombonist, I'd like to opine that playing a little bit of good old fashioned brass band stuff, or a bit of classical, would also be lovely; and they do have a captive audience...

In previous years, I've put up pictures of the parade. However, members of my family who take photos have had difficulty with taking pictures of children in a church (baptism) setting in the last year or so, so although I'd just have shown you the usual pictures of children enjoying themselves by dressing up and walking around the village, I'm reluctant to do so now... So although I had some perfectly nice photos of Pocohantases, and Christmas trees, and other children who'd obviously put a lot of effort into their costumes... here are some adults.

Here are the Pirates of the Caribbean - sorry E-J, no Johnny Depps - we really don't have the budget even if he's only in France at the moment.... And sorry, WI; the Pirates are with the Young Wives this year...

I suspect the I.P. stood for something. But I loved the idea of a WIP ranch - we could all go there, corrall in our Works in Progress and do something about them...



This was where the man with the inflatable trousers would have been... unfortunately, sticking with the library stand for the rest of the afternoon was a bit too entertaining...

Now, was it just me, or would anyone else find these "prizes" a bit disturbing? Yes, those are cows, above the Scoobies.



Or this? (I am not a vegetarian, but Barnyard Amusements is possibly a bit spicy...)

Anyway, that's it for another year, sadly...
