Street party!

This is the gang of kids, including my 2 who took over our street after the tables and chairs had been cleared away. They had an amazing time cycling and scooting up and down the car free road with a selection of dogs!

Today was another cloudless scorcher, perfect for our street party. The PA system went on at midday with 70s themed music and then at 1pm we all took our food out and sat down to eat en masse. Our road is very special, particularly friendly with a strong community spirit. It is the main reason we haven't moved despite our small garden. My parents came and Mum had made her famous orange cake to feed 36 people!

There was karaoke, races (mark and I both dropped our eggs in the egg and spoon mad dash), treasure hunt, quiz and lots of chatting. I wore my mad Afro wig until it was too hot. From about 6pm everyone got their bbqs out and we went up and ate with Rebecca, Ant and co as some other school friends were there. We stayed til midnight when Heidi finally went to sleep having a cuddle. The kids had had a huge street long water fight, they had the best day and so did we.
