I think it will be an indoors day today: it's overcast and cold. We have a couple of chairs and a small table on the little strip of concrete at the front door and it's a pleasant spot for enjoying a cup of coffee but that won't happen this morning. I've been up for an hour, watched a YouTube video of Steve Marsh on the island of Hoy and had my breakfast, but Marilyn has taken the chance for a lie-in.
Yesterday was a big day in Longford when they had the Annual Blooms Festival. As the name suggests, it has to do with flowers; there's a big display at the Town Hall and lots of open gardens. There were little groups of pedestrians up and down our street all day walking from one garden to another. I'm pleased that nobody arrived demanding to look at mine. Also, there was an 'Artisan Market' at the gymnasium at the top of Burghley Street. I drove past and the carpark was full.
I had trouble turning into the supermarket carpark with the number of cars coming into town. Longford seems to be the place for festivals: apart from Blooms, there's a regular Vintage Car Show, a Festival of Trucks, the usual Country Show, Art Exhibitions and a couple of Poultry Shows. You could be at something every weekend if you were so inclined. (Hint: we're not!)
