The best laid plans...

See this?

 Snow. Snow outside our window. It's snowing here today in Alcala la Real. And today is Carnaval Day! Or it was supposed to be...

Serious ladybird

The children got up and dressed in their attire this morning. It was overcast but not raining. We had forebodings that all would not go to plan though. But they looked gorgeous anyway.

Testing the wings

Ready to fly

Serious soldier - from Lilliput, remember

Draw swords

By the time the parade was due to start, thick rain was falling. It wasn't quite snow but it was definitely thicker than just water! And no children emerged from the school gates, though a few game parents were waiting for them there. Some gamer than us - we were sitting in the car (having been to look at yet another house we didn't want to buy).

The weather didn't improve - indeed, it got worse!

Never mind, we'll see what Monday brings, though I feel it won't be quite the same dressing up for a second time....
