Ascot Races & George's Visit

We joined my friend Mich and a few of her mates for a day at the Ascot Races. It had been very wet leading up to the Saturday, but thankfully it didn't rain for us, although it still was rather wet and cold! It was a fun day, although we didn't win anything. Transport to and from left a little bit to be desired, but otherwise it was a fun day.

The girls all dressed up - Me and Mich

Ben & I - and Mich

Ben & El from Melbourne - The Queen in her carriage (she's wearing purple)

Ben, Dan & Mich - The group cheering on the horses

Ben not impressed with the way the day finished - With the Union Jack after the traditional sing-a-long

The next day our friend George arrived from Melbourne. He was over in business and made the effort to come early and spend a couple of days with us. He arrived early in the morning, and after a couch catch up we hit the shops and walked through the park home. George was lucky, we actually had nice weather for the couple of days he was here. It was wonderful to see him again, we really miss having George and Anita around!

I don't know what they are talking about regarding English weather. It was jolly good. Tks Ben and Inge for looking after me - see you our side of the swamp soon!
