Yesterday was Melksham's "Party in the Park" and Carnival ... the Carnival Parade running from the car park of Cooper Avon Tires at about 6 p.m., looping through the town centre, with a variety of walking groups and floats.

On days like this, Well House Manor is ideally placed as we're close enough to the town centre for it to be very easily accessed (and with plenty of parking for our guests and selves) but just far enough out for for our road to remain open.

So there I was at about a quarter past six ... "Standing on the corner, watching all the girls [and boys] go by" (Words and music by Frank Loesser).

Awaiting the Carnival Parade

Most of our guests had checked in earlier in the day - we are as flexible as possible with our 3 p.m. checkin, and we welcome "Saturday night only" guests. I think some had gone out to the Party in the Park and Carnival. Others had gone to Bath for the afternoon - it's only 12 miles away. And the final couple of the late afternoon / evening arrived at around parade time.
