As I promised..
Nearly week ago I've read about May Fayre and puppets festival at the Covent Garden.
Something definitevely what kids like.
Becouse parade was going to start at 10.30 am we woke up early, had some breakfast, set out and reached St. Paul's Church before 10. Not bad. We have some time for looking around and listening classical music (nice string quartet was playing Vivaldi's "Four seasons").
Nothing showed something else will happen so I was thinking franticly is it this day?
Then some people was gathering in front of the church so we joined.
There was a performer in the circle starting his show.
In the meantime my doughter sat at the foot of the collumn, she was looking very cute so I took her a picture
and then my 15 seconds of fame happen..
'Do you know this child' asked me the performer.
I nodded abashly
'Why? You don't recognize her at home?'
'Oh. She grows so fast' I cast as the answer.
'You should take pics of stranger'
'Ok' I said aiming at him so he posed to me
His show was very very funny but unfortunately at 10.30 the parade finnaly started and he couldn't finish his sketch with cigarette.
I hope meet him again.
As we expected the parade was lovely.
There was a man with bowler hat and umbrella at the start, next brass band, Pearly Kings wearing button-threaded suits and few clowns.
We went somewhere through Covent Garden with them and some people like us.
At the end we came back to the St . Paul's Church where Puppets Fest started and we stayed watch few plays.
As you can see my kids had fun
