YO HO HO!

What a fabulous day we had! We took part in an official record breaking attempt, which was  for the most pirates ever in one place.
The current record was 1000 in Carolina USA, but the record got SMASHED here in Hastings. The official count was just over 6000!
And the town mayor got a certificate for the town from The Guiness Word Records as an official world record. It was such a good day with some fabulous costumes adults and kiddiwinks alike. We had just a pirate day last year with no record attempt. I think this event will take place annually now. Our town is such a wonderful place to live. We have great festivals like the Jack in the Green where all the bogeys and sweeps come togther. This week is old town week and it culminates tomorrow with the carnival.
The pirate day was on meridian tv news which can be seen here.
BTW I got seriously sun burnt even though there was hardly any sun out...................thats the sea breeze for you lol. My face is bright red although the camera didnt pick it up very well.
