Basically its a parade down the high street (the street's name is 'the Parade') of a whole lot of dressed up people, coounities, interest goups, schools, bands, businesses etc. Our primary school's theme was bugs so Issy the bee and Issy's friend Tya the butterfly and Tya's brother River, the veiled pole carrier... can be seen parading above.

This is Norwood primary school's float... only the reception year kids were allowed to ride on it... the rest of us had very sore feet! Daniel's enthusiasm for the occasion is plain.
Here, he manages to mask his feelings of near disgust better. He did not take part... but 'roamed' around (barefoot) watching everyone else.
There were even penny farthings!
and lotus flowers.
The bee and her brother.
Isabella, River, Daniel and Tya. River and Tya started school on teh same day Daniel and Isabella did. Issy and Tya are in the same class and in the basket ball team together. We walk home from school together most days (unless we are the last four on the playground in the afternoons left furiously playing hand tennis). River and Tya have come from Singapore but their parents are from Mumbai. Their Dad, Kingsley works in Papua New Ginea as an engineer, 28 days on and 28 days off. We hope to spend Christmas together.
