Sweeps

Given that we will be away when the Dickens Festival is on in Rochester at the start of June, we thought we'd head that way today for the last day of the Sweeps Festival.

Weather was bright and sunny, but rather chilly in the wind, and at times it was blowing a gale.

We had a good meander around, stopping for for a burger from the Topes BBQ, and then stayed for the final procession. Bumped into lots of people we know, including one who later turned up in the parade as well (see photos below).

Sadly it's back to work tomorrow, and this time we have to do a four day week. Bit of a hardship if you ask me!
