Detail, attention to every detail was obvious from the start as we gathered to go into this balmy bright themed evening.
Already the day had been spent pulling items out from under beds and eaves, as well as the loft and the garage. My eldest is flying the coop and along with his new job has found a lovely house to rent nearby with his girlfriend. We found that everything had taken longer with washing down items as well and left slightly late. We arrived just in time for the estate agent to let us in and allow us to peruse the whole house, lovely. Such a sensible layout with a plethora of plugs etc and pristine.

We then met up with the rest of my eldest's girlfriends family to allow us to divest the car of its contents in their garage and change for the event. As we had driven up the horizon had filled with the building dark clouds of a thunderstorm which it had let loose allowing us to wallow through waves of water however now the clouds were in the distant and stood like pillars with the light reflecting off them. The sun was out, and it had some heat.
BLITZ HILL
Detail does indeed make for the very best of evenings. It would not take much to imagine yourself transported in time to the era of WW2, that is was attention to detail does.
The evening now had the promise to be warm and balmy. I was so happy as it became obvious how much everyone had invested in time and detail at the event.

At 6 pm a thousand of us queued, and I was so happy to see nearly everyone had attempted a look, the men with flat caps or uniforms whilst the ladies where in elegant tea dresses, land girl/boiler suit outfits or uniform. Hair was coiffured with curls and loops and bands tied in a knot at the top.

Before long we got in with a map, which we were told to look after in case of spies, and then had a fantastic walk around immersing ourselves in the fun of the Home Guard marching, the Army vehicles, the fair ground, the Shire horse practice, eating tasty bread and fish and chips, buying fresh grown products fresh out of the tended ground. Wow I was in awe.

The evening continued to warm and bright with everyone having the very best of times.

What a lovely event, well done to everyone who taped up the windows, laid out the bunting, planted up the luggage, took time to dress their hair, to polish up their vehicles. It was the very best of evenings.
