I shall be putting the union flag up later! The neighbours here will think I'm crazy but that's nothing new . I think they think of me as that crazy English woman.[flag crown]

Well I have to do it too! Our Pilates class this morning was great fun with red, white and blue ribbon waving, and getting into the mood. Plenty going on in the locality so will be taking the GC to festivities over the weekend as well as viewing the seals at Blakeney Point! Weather looks dire..... Enjoy yourselves fellow GN.

When I was a brownie i learned all about the flag. upright red and white st george's, diagonal red and white, st patricks, diagonal white and blue, st andrews. and it MUST be flown with the broad white stripe nearest the flagpole and not dropped on the ground. and there is a special knot that comes undone and unfurls the rolled up flag when you pull the cord. So far so good. Passed the test.
As Welsh brownies though we did notice that there was something missing from this flag. Miffed. Permanently. Sorry!
Am thinking of getting a welsh flag to hang outside if Dai Green or any other welsh person makes it into an olympics athletics final. But until then we will stay flag free. have fun folks.

The queen celebrated her 60 years on the throne on 6th February, but I suppose the weather would not have been too good then for the parties.

It clashes.

Especially with that peachy Academy thing next to it.

It's getting sick making.

And flags should flutter. Or wave.

And all these silly emoticons are patronising.

Decided I would become 'jubilant', accordingly there are now 14 flags flying from the old homestead, 4 in flowerpots (mingling nicely with the ferns and ivy) and one larger one planted in another flowerpot.
All far more tastefully arranged than the tatty old bunting strung across the high street! flag flag flag grin

We have put our bunting up at home this afternoon, and while we were out hanging it some of the Mums in the court all got chatting had have decided to have a street party on Tuesday.

So I have spent the evening shopping for food, more bunting, plates, napkins etc etc etc, and its about time this new estate got some community about it. wink
