Easter parade

The Chiltern Open Air Museum is officially open again this weekend. Too much to hope that the Madwoman would take us on an Easter Egg Hunt: a village of tents has sprung up on the village green so it looks like we are instead to receive another lesson in History - otherwise known as Yet More Ways to Die Horribly ...
The American Civil War has arrived in sunny Bucks, and it seems that you are never too old to get signed up for wars ...

... or too young either. We learned that the age range in the two armies went from 8 years to 80.
We received admiring glances from some parading soldiers ...


Would we like to sign up?
Not really, no thanks ...
 
 
That's it, off you go lads. Try not to be too disappointed.
This is more our sort of thing - an unattended cooking pot! Unfortunately we forgot to bring along our oven gloves. Foiled again.

Roll on, warm sun on your fur. Er, hair. The coats under your coats. You know what I mean.
