THIS TALE BELOW IS FROM MY ARCHIVES OF LAST YEARS EASTER TIME.

" IN OUR EASTER BONNETS"
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. (HE-HE)
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.
YOU ASKED ME TO REMIND YOU SO WE COULD ALL MAKE ONE THIS YEAR.
YOU CAN THEN SHOW OFF YOUR BONNET TO ALL YOUR J/LAND FRIENDS ON HERE.
GET OUT YOUR DIDGY CAMERAS AND TAKE A NICE CLEAR SHOT.
AS JUST A SINGULAR PICTURE OR PLACE ON YOUR TOP KNOT. HE-HE
I'M SURE ALL OTHER J/LANDERS WOULD LOVE TO SEE THEM ALL.
BE IT ONE YOU MADE FOR YOURSELF OR FOR YOUR CHILDREN SMALL.
ALL EASTER BONNETS WE'D VIEW IN POSTS AND OVER THE POND SO FAR.
AND IF YOU WANT TO REDUCE IT YOU CAN PLACE IT IN YOUR SIDEBAR.
OUR SIDEBARS WOULD LOOK REALY PRETTY WITH ALL OUR BONNETS INSIDE.
AND OH SO EASY TO SHOW THEM OFF WHAT WE HAD MADE WITH PRIDE.
OR MAYBE DO A POSTING AND PUT YOUR BONNET IN .
I'M ASKING YOU NOW IF YOUR STILL INTERESTED AND THEN YOU CAN BEGIN.
I LIKE TO CELEBRATE EASTER AND ALL THAT IT MEANS BESIDES THIS.
THE LAST FEW YEARS " OUR EASTER PARADE" I MUST ADMIT I'VE MISSED.
AND IV'E ALSO MISSED THE FAMOUS SONG SUNG LOUD AS WE WALKED ROUND.
ALL THE VILLAGE PEOPLE SINGING WHAT A LOVELY SOUND.
"YOU'LL BE THE GRANDEST LADY IN THE EASTER PARADE".
