Weekend Smorgasboard

Today's post is a weekend smogasboard of colour and activity.


Brightly coloured allotment fayre for us to tuck into over the next week.


A little light crafting:friendship bracelets and beading.

  
We went to a local folk/arts festival at the Edge in Much Wenlock.


I was dancing there with the Severn Sisters Tribal belly dance group with my friends...I did smile for some bits of it, a skill I need to work on. My concentrating face always takes over.


We danced alongside the raucous Ironmen Morris team. Can you spot my neighbour there wearing his jacket I repaired for him? He made me my yarn bowl.


and the Severn gilders women's team. We all dance in the same spot as their musicians play live music for us at outdoor events.


There were also great activities for the children too: circus skills, storytelling, crafts, a clog dancing workshop and general running around in the sunshine.


Oh how we laughed as we watched bloke having a go on a unicycle. Thank heavens our baby making years are over, that's all I'm going to say!

So the children are yet to find out that tomorrow the mundaneness of Monday will soon be upon them when we all have to go food shopping and do an entire week of washing together. It can't all be fun!

I hope you had a colourful weekend in the sunshine.

  2. The family hands together photo is worth a thousand words, Jo...a fun time together by the looks of all the other photos, too :) Your Yarn Bowl Jacket did you proud! I hope you and the girls don't find the laundry and grocery shopping too much of a letdown after such an exciting weekend. I spent a good bit of yesterday trying to sort through some old family photos and managed to part with a whole lot of blurry ones :) xx

  3. They just might be ready for some quiet time after all that fun. You look beautiful dancing and your concentration face is wonderful. I am finished my laundry and now getting ready for a week of work, I think I would rather hop off to the market and have more clean clothes.
    Hugs,

  8. It seem that you had a great time at the weekend. It is always wonderful to spend time with the family, isn't it? And of course life just can't be fun all the time, how could we enjoy fun if everything was fun? But I hope that Mondays will at least bring some fun moments, as well. Viola
