Toft Jubilee Street Party

 More than 260 people gathered for a tea party yesterday afternoon in Toft. Although in no way a Royalist!, I record the celebration here in my Blog as this is now my diary since I went on-line in 2008. Here a few images of the event plus one from the Silver Jubilee in 1977 in Toft. 

Many of us reflected during the party on the plight of those who, for whatever reason, do not at this time have enough food to eat or the opportunity to share it with friends and relatives.

Jubilee Scarecrow Trail in Toft

As usual, Toft stepped up to the challenge of the Jubilee with a Scareecrow trail as part of the Celebrations. Many thanks, Marion, for organising and for your Rock Royalty. Many have political and social allusion with Prince Andrew and Boris featuring prominently. The trail is open all four days though rain is forecast for Sunday

Estonia Independence Day - The Tanks Invade

I had failed to note that 24 February is the national day of Estonia, marking its declaration of freedom in 1918 after centuries of foreign occupation. So on our first evening in Tallinn, the tanks invaded the street right outside our room and continued their rehearsal until quite late. On the 24th lots of the Museums and Art galleries etc that we planned to visit were closed so a different experience watching the celebrations.
