To celebrate the Queen's 60th anniversary of being on the throne, England had a big Jubilee (celebration). There were lots of events everywhere, including at the girls' school. Their school had visitors from other countries in Europe on that day, so they had a Street party to celebrate the two events. They were allowed to wear red, white, and blue clothes for the day. I had bought Sophia an American outfit, which fit the colours anyway! I thought we would mix and match red, white, and blue things for Tessa. However, when we saw a certain dress at a local shop, she loved it and I thought it was too cute to pass it up. We did go to a Queen's Jubilee picnic on Sunday also, but it was raining so we moved to a friend's sitting room instead of the Severals Field, and I ended up not taking photos. It was fun, though!

The next day the school had a barndance for the visitors and governors were invited, but not their spouses or children. So I dressed-up as a farm girl and biked through town to the Memorial Hall. I didn't count the number of people that gave me funny looks, but at least it was dark when I biked home!

Biking to a barn dance to celebrate the Queen of England?! I"m still a little confused but I'm glad you had fun. You guys seem to go do all the best British-y things. :0)
