Dame Cleo Laine's 1940's Garden party.

Today Ray, Michelle and I went to Dame Cleo Laine's garden party which was run by Hednas.
:D

We packed a picnic in Rays fancy barbie pink picnic basket & our very best plastic backed picnic blanket as after all of yesterdays rain we knew the ground would be really soggy.

We packed dairylea dunkers as a main followed by scones and jam and clotted cream- and pretend wine, of course.

We got to the Stables early to have our hair done by Sarah- as you can see we all looked fantastic:



After getting our hair done we were at the venue early we decided to pick a good spot by the croquet square and the vintage cars to have our picnic- by the time we'd got set up, poured the pretend wine and dished out the dishes other people had started to arrive- some dressed up-some not- and people seemed to think we were a part of the day- We were almost endlessly photographed!
It'm sure we looked ace but it was a bit weird.
We were really not very good at making scones with jam and cream - all of us ended up covered in jam. super sticky.
but rather delicious.

Post lunch we went and watches some of the acts on the stage and mooched round through the stalls and chatted to Kat and Sarah from rose tinted vintage and to some of the other stallholders- they were all so lovely and helpful.
We managed to restrain ourselves from buying anything.
it was tricky.

We finished the day off by watching more brilliant acts on the main stage and then we were picked up by le wife.
:D
Nothing like having a personal chauffeur!
