Saint Helena Day

20th May was St Helena day - a day when many Saint's get dressed up, head into town, and have a whole lot of fun (if that sounds like the plot to a B-grade Western comedy - it is not intentional, but there is an awful lot of Country & Western played around these parts and sometimes the lingo just sticks). I managed to skip the work float under an "I've gotta take photos" excuse. Here are a few photos from the day to prove that it wasn't just an excuse

The St Helena National Trust and Environmental Conservation Section's float (minus Mike)

A lot of people dress up, some quite scarily so

Some come for the party ...

Others just watch - usually with a drink or three ...

or more

The theme was St Helena in 2020. Some people were fairly obvious where they wanted to be at that date ...

and some were just fairly obvious (and to be fair we do have ONE ship!)

And at the end of the day everyone had fun (maybe apart from some fathers)
