British Pageant- Preston

Ruby at the Preston Temple

 

Wow what a day...this morning Michael took Ruby to the park and she had a great two hours down there and came back needing a change of clothes....before we could head off to Preston.
We left Leicester just around 1.30pm and got to Rachel and Ric's in Darwen about 3.45. Not a bad journey although there was a lot of traffic.
We arranged to meet Zoe at the Houghton Arms for tea and made our way there. Zoe had to dash off to get ready for the pageant and so was with us only briefly and took her sandwich with her! Ruby had said she wasn't hungry but managed to eat 3 fish finger, 4 potato waffles and beans....not forgetting the chocolate brownie with custard.
After tea we had a quick detour back to Rachel's before heading to Botany Bay to park the car. We were early enough to get a good parking space and caught the transfer buses to the Preston Temple. Ruby was really well behaved.
We all had a fabulous time and it was well worth the late journey home...which Ruby slept through and into bed at 1.00am..

 

Ready for the show
