Local Carnival

In the town where I live, we have a carnival every year, It raises money for charity. There is the dressing of the wells. Opening of the wells. The fair which arrives in town 7 days before the carnival day. On the day of there are live local bands in and around the centre of town, brass bands and quiors on the parade. There is also the road race. And of course there is the carnival itself and also the annual duck race in the river Wye. Also from last year and reoccuring this year is the final event of the parade, the World War 2 Bomber flying over the town.

Loads of local organizations take part. From nurserys to rugby teams to local business and even the local emergancy services such as fire engines, police, ambulance etc.

The floats change from year to year, but there are a few that remain unchanged. Such as my personal favourite, The Billerettes! who apart from members coming and going have remainded unchanged in their ways for four decades!

Amazing guys who have raised unbelieveable amounts of money for charity! If you'd like to know more about the Billerettes or are from Buxton and would like to join them, then here is their official website! Official Billerettes (Click me)

Anyway, If anybody reading this blog would like to come along to the fun and festivities then here are the details!

The Voice UK

Have you all been watching the voice?? I think its a step up from X factor! I love the judges! Jessie J, Danny O'D, Will.i.am, and of course the legendary Tom Jones! But of the contestants of the voice? Well this Sat will be Tom and Wills second week of live finals! So who are your favourites to win?

For me, I have favourites for each team, and for me, it stands like thus:

Team Tom: Ruth Brown
Team Danny: Max Milner
Time Will: Jaz Ellington
Team Jessie: Vince Kidd

And the overall winner that I will be backing....... can you guess???

Yessss... Vince Kidd!!!

I loved his voice from the first moment he opened his mouth in the blind audition! So, my prediction is Vince.... although I wouldnt be supprised for Jaz winning either!
