This morning I woke up at 6.30 because I had a rowing regatta to get too! Not such a good start to a saturday!LOL!
Plus side was that I thought it would rain today, prayed hard that it wouldn't and we have had sun for basically all the day. God truly works miracles!!!
So... we arrived at a very british regatta with plenty of tents, chairs, bbq and generally a good atmosphere..
We then rigged up the boats (rowing lingo for putting the boats together after being on the trailer, in case u were wondering!) and put our blades (oars) down by the bank. Along with hundreds of others...
We waited for our race for what felt like hours! A nice chance to watch the beautiful river and get out those milky white feet! he he! ![](https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhOKs_H6MKmxBSuVmA3YtQdh63X172PX-l7M2iteZRp5Eg0QYFFVWEKHeGUv8H6l5HtKIVMQK4mIvn8lPCs-zeo0JZehAM3BaVL8rixJ4jAAQuC6FPRUvzB4qQS9AamWgukmMN297amDDc/s400/01052010083.jpg)
Sadly we didn't win the race but it was great experience. We spent the next few hours watching the boats go by and cheering on our other crews. ( don't you love those socks?!)![](https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjvoKQolV1zs-fz2GmQKLkm9KOuCmYlQQOga_PxFrgpJxntOSKNJGCCmss925wV0nlWplKFwxvPrV3Tw3kpjZktFGTx3SF7NNBmTn97OGVcOSS_moZ5Resdw3ohlWQ7t2Af9VoIKiEIqPI/s400/01052010088.jpg)

Some of the girls did win...
And finally got their burgers which they had been waiting for all day!
We stayed late, enjoying the atmosphere of a proper british day in the country..![](https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhg_dAfmvqnnShEO68Ut5J5w7rjAXDaqUwTqgcBVUZTMPdIt6GheVLsQqQ9zEQUBlvb6yfGGYIU_mU9hmVAUvTxHFDyIUb85dymaRSqAFT7_2wlyoDW-SJBgmNbCP5fOypLSZImWhN1tHg/s400/01052010086.jpg)

And headed home for fish and chips as the rain started to set in.
What was your day like? Hope everyone has a brilliant bank holiday!

I spent Bank Holiday Saturday at a crop where Shimelle was the teacher! How good is that?!
Sorry to hear you didn't win, but looks like you had a good day anyway. Enjoy the rest of the weekend.
Thanks for sharing a glimpse into your day Abi, really interesting :-) I had fun catching up with friends, trying out a new recipe and doing a bit of scrapping yesterday! xx
