Maundy money.....and the rest

Work has been a little crazy for the last few weeks because on top of our normal workload we were having to do all kinds of stupid stuff to prepare for a visit from the Queen for Maundy Thursday. If people really knew how much local public money had to be spent to facilitate these visits, I'm sure they would not be waving their flags quite so enthusiastically.

As well as loads of prep before the visit, I also had to 'volunteer' to be a steward on the day. Her fancy car almost ran over my foot. You can just see me in this pic - the very furthest orange jacket top right

At least the old folk receiving the Maundy money had a pretty good time being treated like royalty for a day.
