Upton Proms Friday ..... 11th July

Last Friday evening we went to the Proms - that is Brod, Geoffrey, Suri and myself, we had a very good time with the best seats in the field.


It started off dry and we tucked into the pic nic that we had brought with us, the music started and so did the rain, well a heavy shower really so we all just sat there in our seats with umbrellas hoisted.





But the umbrellas came in useful as we raised them in time with the music, as well as flying the flag - oh and the wine helped - well me any way.






The music was great and the compere was particularly good - singing along as well. And the fireworks finished the evening off.
