Well, despite the weather we did manage to have a very succesful street party on Christmas Eve.
It didn't look promising to start with as the grey skies and occasional light rain meant that many of our neighbours were reluctant to put their noses out of their caravans / motorhomes.
But us Brits are used to forging on with our plans whatever the weather so we started to arrange food and drinks on tables in the street.
As our neighbours looked on at us 'foolhardy' Brits, it took them a while to decide to join in and at one stage Julie said she was going to encourage them to show a bit of "Dunkirk Spirit" until she realised that was a little inappropriate in a street of mainly German residents!
However, we soon realised that their delay was due to cooking/creating some wonderful food for us all to share and eventually everyone from our street joined the party, each contributing something to eat and drink and some of them meeting each other for the first time.
We began with traditional Christmas music but as the afternoon wore on we switched to party songs which resulted in a fair bit of "Dancing in the Street".
