Blessing of the Fleet Easter Sunday

After our weather friendly Friday, Saturday was not so nice and heavy clouds and a cold breeze stayed around all day so we enjoyed our home comforts inside the van.  Sunday fortunately found most of the clouds blown away although the breeze stayed with us.  The festival parade contained over 40 floats, some of which had been a lot of work by willing volunteers to decorate to a very high standard.  The floats carried the entrants in the Princess competition with the winning Princess being on the leading float.  Many of the floats depicted book or film titles and the winning float was the ‘Wizard of Oz’.  Many folk turned out for the parade and some had travelled from Sydney for the day. 

We bought a cuppa and sat on a seat on the footpath to wait and had a local elderly couple come to join us.  Well we chatted the whole time to Ron and Dawn and learnt much about their 30yrs in Ulladulla.

Never mind the parade
