Armidale holds a three-day Autumn Festival each year and it takes place this weekend (19-21 March 2010). One of the great attractions is 'breakfast in the park' held down on the creek-lands and designed to raise money for the Armidale City Band. Lots of people attend not just to receive a nice breakfast prepared by Lions volunteers, but to be serenaded by the band itself, whose smartly attired members range in age from about 12 to well over 60. They performed very well again today, helped by brilliantly sunny autumn weather. Although it is mid-March here and almost the Equinox, the daytime temperatures still hover around 25 degrees C. This is not the kind of weather one would receive in Britain in mid September!
The pictures show the band, the 'dining area', and the chefs preparing the pancakes - which were served with maple syrup and a blueberry sauce together with ham and eggs. It was very nice!
