Drizzled rain all night. Not looking good for the grand parade!
We braved the weather and 'did' the market, much the same as any market I reckon, although Judy managed to exchange hard earned for a bag of trinkets. We picked up some cheese and strawberries as well, so all is not lost.
On the way over we walked past a jazz band just getting started, and they were still there on the way back, blowing up a storm. Naturally we had to stop and drink coffee and eat cakes and drink more coffee. There were great - thoroughly entertaining. We had a little comp to see who could take the best snap of the bass man who had the most wonderful craggy face.
They finished up just as the parade was announced. Sadly it took another 20 minutes for the first bit of action, then another 20 minutes... Just a bit of fun in the end and we kept our coffee seats warm just in case.
Oh, yes, the Autumn festival tag is because all the trees are turning and bringing some fabulous colour into the valley. We tried to take some snaps but the steel grey cloud cover is keeping the colours at bay for the moment.
Here's a few snaps:
