ANOTHER TALE TO TELL YOU  ABOUT  PAST EASTER TIMES.

 

SO I THOUGHT I'D TELL YOU ALL ABOUT THEM IN THIS WEEK/ENDS RHYME. 

 

I KNOW IT'S NOT QUITE EASTER  YET BUT THIS COMING WEEK I'M BUSY.

 

IV'E LOTS TO DO BEFORE NEXT WEEK SO  I'LL BE IN A TIZZY. 

 

IT'S ALL ABOUT OUR  EASTER BONNETS WAY BACK THEN WHICH WE.

 

LOVED TO MAKE OURSELVES BY HAND  MY NEIGHBOURS FRIENDS  AND ME.

 

WHEN EASTER SUNDAY CAME AROUND WE ALL MARCHED  OFF TO  GO.

 

TO OUR LOCAL VILLAGE GREEN OUR BONNETS THERE TO  SHOW.

 

THESE  BEAUTIFUL EASTER BONNETS THEY LOOKED LOVELY WE FELT PROUD.

 

THAT WE HAD PACIENTLY DECORATED FOR THE WAITING CROWD.

 

BONNETS ADORNED IN FLOWERS  AND BONNETS WITH CHICKS ON TOP.

 

BONNETS  WITH TINY EASTER EGGS ON AND RABBITS WITH EARS THAT FLOP.

 

BONNETS TOPPED UP WITH FRESH FRESHIA OH!  WHAT  A BEAUTIFUL SCENT.

 

AND ALL THESE PRETTY BONNETS MADE FROM MANY AN OLD HAT SPENT.

 

OUR CHILDREN WITH US HAND IN HAND WITH THERE EASTER BONNETS ON TOO.

                        

  

US MUMS HAD MADE THEM ALL ONE EACH TRIMMED UP IN PINK  AND BLUE.

 

ALL THE CHILDREN WOULD GET A PRIZE AFTER THEY SHOWED THEM OFF.

 

USUALY A GIANT  BIG EASTER EGG TWO MINUTES AND THEY WERE SCOFFED. (HA)

 

THE WINNER OF THE MUMS PRIZE RECEIVED CASH TO USE AS SHE WISHED.

 

RAISED FROM COLLECTIONS AROUND THE VILLAGE EVERYONE GAVE TO THIS.

 

WE MUMS WOULD LINE UP IN A  ROW THEN WE WOULD FORM  A RING.

 

FACING THE  REGULARS SAT IN THE SUNSHINE AND ALL OF THEM WOULD  SING.

 

"IN YOUR EASTER BONNET WITH ALL THE FRILLS UPON IT".

 

"YOU'LL BE THE GRANDEST  LADY IN THE EASTER PARADE".

 

                     

 

WE WOULD HAVE AN INDEPENDANT JUDGE TO COME ALONG AND CHOOSE.

 

THE ONE THEY THOUGHT DESERVED FIRST PRIZE AN EDITOR FROM THE NEWS.

 

THE MONEY THEN ALL COLLECTED THE WINNER  ANNOUNCED TO THE CROWD.

 

SHE ALWAYS GAVE HER PRIZE AWAY TO OUR CHARITY OF WHICH WE WERE PROUD.

 

OUR CHARITY WAS FOR THE BLIND DOGS WE GAVE TO THIS CHARITY FOR YEARS.

 

THEN WE HAD A PRESENTATION EVENING WITH APPLAUSE AND LOTS OF  CHEERS.

 

THE TREASURER OF THE LOCAL BLIND  WOULD BRING THE GUIDE DOG ALONG.

 

INTRODUCING US ALL TO THE GUIDE DOG  FOR  A FUSS TO BE MADE UPON.

                                              

THE WINNER PRESENTED THE CHEQUE TO THE TREASURER ON BEHALF OF US ALL. 

 

WHAT A WONDERFUL GIFT  AND SIMPLY  RAISED FROM BONNETS MADE LARGE AND  SMALL. 

 

IT'S A LITTLE LATE NOW MY MY J/LAND FRIENDS BUT IF J/LANDS AROUND NEXT YEAR. 

 

WE COULD ALL  MAKE A BONNET TO SHOW  OFF TO OUR J/LAND FRIENDS ON HERE.

 

GET OUT OUR DIDGY CAMERAS AND TAKE A NICE CLEAR SHOT.

 

AS JUST A SINGULAR PICTURE OR PLACE IT ON YOUR TOP KNOT. (HA)

 

I'M SURE ALL OTHER J/LANDERS WOULD LOVE TO SEE THEM ALL.

 

BE IT ONE YOU HAVE MADE FOR YOURSELF OR FOR DAUGHTER OR GRANDCHILD SMALL.

 

ALL EASTER BONNETS WE'D VIEW IN POSTS AND OVER THE POND SO FAR.

 

WE COULD THEN  REDUCE THE PICTURE IN SIZE AND PLACE IT IN OUR SIDEBAR.

 

OUR SIDEBARS WOULD LOOK REALY PRETTY WITH OUR BONNETS PLACED INSIDE.

 

AND OH SO EASY TO SHOW THEM OFF WHAT WE HAD MADE WITH PRIDE.

 

WELL IF KNOWONE BY THAT TIME IS INTERESTED THEN I AM FOR ONE GOING TO DO.
