It's great to be back in England to watch all the celebrations and see all the towns and villages decked out with flags and bunting. It's very nice to see such patriotism and people proud to be British.
We didn't arrive in time to take part in the day and night festivities that Martock put on to mark the occasion, but we watched all the big London events on the TV. The Royal Pageant down the River Thames, the music concert outside Buckingham Palac,e and Tuesday's celebration service at St. Paul's Cathedral, complete with a Battle of Britain and Red Arrows fly-over.
"Flaming June" it is not at the moment. The whole time we have been here it has hardly stopped raining. There was a break in the clouds for all the children, Cora, Euan and Violet, to play outside last night when Dean and Jenny came over to Martock.
We had Euan here Thursday while Jen went to work, and had an indoor picnic since it was raining too much to venture outdoors.
Thankfully, the girls have both been sleeping very well. Violet's first two nights in Martock have been brilliant, with her sleeping through the night without a stir. We might try her without the melatonin tonight and see if our luck holds up.

The celebrations throughout the town look so impressive. Would love to have seen that with all of you. Indoor picnics are fun as well, when you are with the people you love. Euan is quite the handsome boy, and unfortunately I found the race car that was supposed to be for him under the seat of my car. Darn!! Will send it with Nan and Pop. Have fun and be safe. We love all of you. Grandma Wahla (and Grandpa, too)
