I know you will know by now (how could you not!) that Bay City is open. Salazar, Osprey and Enjah (Nova Albionians all) organised a parade from Miramare over the water into Bay City and through the streets of the new city. Loads of people turned up, some I knew well, some I’d only recently met (Hi Nica!) and some I’d never met before – it was great to see so many happy people having a great time together and I’m only sorry I didn’t get to speak to more folks before I had to go at the end

Here are some of the shots I managed to take:

Here all are at the start in Miramare

Yikes! Douglas the Dino!

Janey on Colin

Sal and Alba – the new Little and Large?

The Show Must Go contingent (Lucy hadn’t arrived when I took this – sorry mate!)

Marianne turned up with loads of kids

Nica was here for the horned community

Off we go!

We faced many dangers… from dodgy bridges…

…to floating heffalumps…

…to killer trams (I took a shot of Doug munching it up good, but it never arrived at flickr )

But we bravely carried on through the streets…

Until we reached the bowling alley at the end!

Where Doug looked at us all with a hungry glint in his eye…

Eeeek!
