To celebrate the Queen's Platinum Jubilee 2022 we decided to have a walk dressed for the occasion, wearing traditional colours.
We met at Wistow Park car park avoiding the cafe car park thinking it could be very busy as it was the Jubilee bank holiday weekend with lots of celebrations going on everywhere.
The cows turned up just to see what was going on.
Lots of events are held at Wistow.
Time for a group photo.
Out into the countryside heading for the canal.
Great day for walking and surprisingly quiet considering the bank holiday.
Geese and their family.
Wistow Church in the background. 
Early summer flowers everywhere.
Jubilee bunting at Newton Church.
The snowdrop flag, very significant because of the amazing snowdrop display earlier in the year in the church gardens announcing the approach of spring.
Walk nearly over, everybody happy, weather has been really good and we were all looking forward to a cuppa.
Settling down for our Jubilee mini picnic, out came the extra red white and blue adornments.
A rendition of happy birthday for the birthday boy.
Well this is the way to do it. Cakes were brought to supplement the odd sandwich. Chocolate biscuits to add to the cakes. What more could you possibly want at a picnic?
Going for it!
Ahh guess what, we seem to have inquisitive interlopers about to descend on the party.
The faces tell it all as a herd of cows approaches.
Getting closer.
Now then this is my seat.
I'll just finish this bun then I'm off!!!
Now this is very good, making friends with the local milk bar.
That's better, now we can watch in comfort.
You just have to laugh, it could only happen to us.
Needless to say everyone (nearly everyone!), enjoyed the extra company but next time we'll bring our own milk.!!!
