Block Party!

Last weekend, on a hot and sunny Saturday, we went to the annual Bridge Street Christmas Street Party. Nobody parked on the street that day, and council blocked off  both ends of the street from traffic.

There was chalk art.

a Jumping castle for the neighbourhood kids.

Lots of people came with salads, drinks and chairs and sun umbrellas. The trees are quite leafy and full on the "nature strip", so most people sat under trees on the grass beside the sidewalks. Zac and Rose and I brought our chairs, drinks and brownies to share.

BBQ snags and rissoles on bread with tomato sauce were served up.

Dads and kids played Street Cricket.

Santa made an early appearance with a bag full of lollies.

The bands of Bridge Street all played: 3 in total. (We have a very musical street!)

The street loved the music!

Rose and I had a bit of a boogie.
