Tales of everyday life in the coastal village of Amble Bay
Nice little cafe isn’t it?Coffees all round Masie, please.
Masie’s twelve-year-old daughter is May Queen this year.
I was saying, your Violet is this year's May Queen Masie
She can’t hear over that hissing coffee machine, or see us through all that steam! Violet and her princesses will tour the village in a horse and carriage. Then she'll be crowned, plonked on a throne, then sit, bored, while her friends have fun!
We have two maypoles. One has four ribbons and the other twelve. The kids skip around plaiting them down the pole. Last year Charlotte took a wrong turn and got tied in a knot with Harry. It caused chaos!
Funny wasn't it Masie?
She still can't hear me. Arthur provides the music with his accordion; often the wrong tune but that's normal.
Have you seen Morris Dancing? Grown men and women hopping around in funny costumes banging sticks? Well, Arthur provides the music for them too.
There's also face painting, a coconut shy and rides on Greasy Gary’s miniature steam railway. Talking of steam...
... how long’s that coffee going to be Masie?

I took this at my local May Fayre last year - honestly!
*As we have no challenge Sunday I have written 100 words in a totally different style to prove I really can be serious if I put my mind to it! It's called Picture in a Frame and it's right HERE
I'm on Neighbourhood Watch duty Monday, and you are coming with me! Don't be late!
