Saturday 16th was November's photo an hour date - the last big carnival of the season here in Somerset! We had breakfast and then Andrew collected my brother from his care home whilst I sorted out all the carnival costume bits from the previous night's procession in Wells. Then we all headed down to Glastonbury for the final parade!
October's photo an hour day was Saturday 19th - another carnival day down here in Somerset! This time it was Trowbridge Carnival (just over the border into Wiltshire) and Lily was taking part in their evening procession.
Saturday 21st was the date chosen for September's photo an hour. It's carnival season down here in Somerset and Lily was taking part in Frome Carnival that day. They had an afternoon procession and an evening procession and she competed in both of them, picking up 5 trophies along the way!
August's photo an hour day took place on Saturday 17th. We did some jobs at home, visited my Dad in his nursing home and then took a drive to deliver last year's carnival trophies back to their hometowns.
Saturday 20th July was the date chosen for July's photo an hour. Unusually I had the whole day at home to myself as the other half and Small Person were camping at a local steam rally. I mostly spent the day sewing and trying things out for Small Person's carnival costume.
June's photo an hour date fell on Saturday 22nd - and it was a lovely sunny day! One of our local recycling centres recently opened a reuse shop and we had a shopping list of a comfy chair for Lily's bedroom and a bigger scooter for her so we explored there in the morning. We managed to find both items at a relatively good price! £15 for the chair and £3 for the scooter so that wasn't bad at all. In the afternoon we headed over to (what was) my Mum's house to do some sorting, clearing and tidying. And in the evening we visited my Dad in his nursing home and then headed home via some local share & reuse boxes.
