Mrs Fester and I popped down to the Parade...and enjoyed it as usual.
Seen about six of them, but its a nice thing to do..... you don't see such things in most towns!
Mercifully, the rain abated in the late afternoon,... in fact its a standing joke in our house that we know it will rain on parade day.. it always has.
I'm with Medz though, I am sick of the sight of the tired looking Star Wars stormtroopers... they are in it every year, and poke thier noses into the Victorian Extravaganza parade too! Thats even more inappropriate, at least Star Wars films are on telly at Xmas..( a tenuous excuse)
