1940s weekend

A Police car with a bell!

The first weekend of July saw 1940s weekend in the village.  Quite a few of these around the country have been cancelled because of the war in Ukraine, but Ingleton's went ahead.  I had forgotten how lovely the village is during 1940s weekend - it was so nice to see it busy, sun out, happy people etc etc.  We didn't do much on the Saturday as Matt was playing cricket in Windermere.  Tom and I went to Settle for the morning to see Grandpa and I had a meeting with a possible new supplier.  When we came back Tom was straight off with Sierra for the day and I was caking all afternoon until Anne popped by for a natter - always nice when that happens.

Sunday, after a morning of chores, we went for a mooch around the village.  Matt got into the 1940s vibe, I didn't - couldn't face trying to get my hair to do something 1940s! We looked around the stands and headed into the village bumping into friends and enjoying the good vibe and 1940s music.  We hung around for the parade of military vehicles, Tom and Matt had some chips from the chippy which they had turned into an air raid shelter and looked amazing and then we went to to watch the cricket.

We had a slow afternoon: a game of Wingspan, more cricket, another mooch around the village, a quick drink at the pub with some friends we bumped into and a pork chop dinner.  Tom's hayfever seems to have got better which is a huge relief although he is still quite snotty - but we can all live with that.
