St. George’s Day Parade

Today in Warwick was the St. George’s Day Parade and Keith and I ventured out to go and watch it. It was a cloudy start and a tad chilly, so before we found a spot to take photographs, we went into the Tuckery and had a coffee and a Sausage in a roll.

It was a truly wonderful event. The sunshine did pop in and out, but it was still rather chilly. Keith was really feeling the chill, so we did not hang around to see everything happening, we made our way back to the boat so he could get warmed up.
