Stralia Day...

We celebrated Australia (... pronounced Stralia round these ere parts) Day on the 26th. The weather was strangely Un-Australian but we had a great day.. none the less. We had hoped that we would celebrate this year as Australians but we simply haven't had time to do the study to pass the test but we are hopeful that we can get this done within the next three months. It would mean that we could carry both an English and Australian passport, but more importantly avoid any embarrassment on either side during this Summer's ashes series.



Anyway I digress... we spent much of the day at a local park listening to bands. There was a great atmosphere, with young and old alongside each other, lots of beer and not the faintest hint of any trouble.



I traded a kidney so that Alfie could have a go on some of the rides. He clearly enjoyed the merry-go-round, and we had a great view from the top of the Ferris Wheel. Alfie then gave two worried parents some cause for concern as he fearlessly scaled the bouncy castle ladder to get to the slide! Alfie also managed to get inside a Fire Engine and make his Nee Naw siren noise for all to hear.



Mitch and Amy came along to top off a great day...
