Again, Margaret, another set of really great photos that show the event very well. Made me hungry too. :-)

Thank you Margaret, I'm wiping my brow and searching for my brolly. I really feel as if I were part of the event. Thank you for the invite. Wonderfully shown as is your norm and comments as charming as always.

Love, Sug.

Thank you for inviting us to the celebration. It felt as if I was there cheering right along with you. You certainly knew how to brave the elements...and you certainly got some great remembrances.

Wonderful job, Margaret, but are you all nuts? LOL I can't imagine playing for or attending an outdoor concert in weather like that! haha The colors are wonderful, and you've captured the spirit of the day!

Thank you for sharing such a wonderful experience. Good work. If it wasn't for the Britian flags, I would have thought it was a celebration of our Independence Day. Fireworks and all!!! Keep up the good work!!!
