There's nothing like a good parade.
The bands, the banners, the marching teams and the flash cars and whatever else the organisers of such colourful events are able to put together.
While I have seen many community parades, be they sporting, celebratory, automotive or festive, I have never been in one ... but then nor do I want to be.
Although there was a time many moons back when our car was a Vauxhall Viva and our daughters were primary age that we very nearly all took part in a parade.
We were in Feilding and I'm not entirely sure what we were doing there, except that while passing through we almost steered into the staging of a parade.
