Alcester & Jubilee party (En)

Last Saturday we went to Alcester a market town of Roman origin known for its High Street, with the Town Hall built between 1618 and 1641 on one end and St Nicholas’s Church at the other end of the High Street. The clock on St Nicholas’s Church is in an unusual position on the southwest corner of the 14th-century tower to make it visible from the High Street as you will see in the pictures.

And on Sunday was the Jubilee party in Ben’s mum urbanization with all the people living here getting together. The party started at 11 am. It was a tent for people to sit in case of rain and another to put all the food and a very cool barbecue. Around 12.30 we started to eat and drink. There were sausages, bacon, mushrooms, tomato etc. Ben and I had bacon and sausage together with mushrooms, super yummy. The cooker was a very nice man with an apron that he bought in Cordoba, Spain, as you can see in the pictures and his wife spoke pretty good Spanish and she wants to learn flamenco and I think I said I will teach her! We did a rest around 2 pm.

At 3 pm we all got together again for more food and drinks. They did a quiz about the queen and I tried to find the answers around the people, so they started to call me the Spanish mole, spreading misinformation to everybody. I was not, hahaha. I have to say that we never found the correct answers. At 5 pm John’s rock band came to play. The band is John guitar, Paul guitar, Paul keyboards and Wendy singer. All of them sing really good. They played on Ben’s mum’s terrace with everybody dancing and seeing the concert from the garden downstairs. They did two sets and finished around 9 pm. Ben did a lasagna but it was so much food that we never eat it.

We finished the night with the rock band eating and drinking until really late. So yesterday Monday we were really hungover and we were just watching movies and eating lasagna. Today Tuesday is sunny and 21 degrees and we will do something like take Asha to the vet for her papers to come back to CCEE. And tomorrow Wednesday we are going to Bunbury where Dominic (Ben’s brother) lives to pass a few days.

And all that in the next post!
