Uncle Jim's funeral

General 

Elliott was was very good today and a lot of people complimented him over how well behaved he was during the funeral.

Activities

After we got up we had bacon sandwiches for breakfast and then Elliot had a bath and got ready for the funeral. Then we packed and left the Air BnB place and met Grandpa, Granny, my cousin Timothy Spencer and his girlfriend Sharon for lunch in Rowleys in Baslow next to the church where the funeral was going to be. Elliott had a cheeseburger and chips for lunch.

After lunch we went to the funeral and Elliott was very respectful and even sung along in the hymns. After the funeral we watched Uncle Jim being buried in the grave yard next to the church and then went back to Rowleys for the wake where we also saw my other cousin Victoria Spencer and her husband Pete. We left mid afternoon so we wouldn't get back too late and after we got home Elliott unpacked and had some toast for tea. After tea he got ready for bed and brushed his teeth without having a bath (as he'd had one in the morning) and then before he went to sleep he read more of his Forest School book "Where The World Ends" by Geraldine McCaughrean.

In the morning after I picked Elliott up we headed to Truck Festival and picked up MacDonalds on the way for lunch. 

When we got to the Festival we met Andrea by the tent and then headed in to the Arena to watch the end of Mr Motivator. After Mr Motivator we had a look around the Festival and had some turns on the bumper cars which Elliott enjoyed:  

After the bumper cars we went back to the tent, packed up and took our belongings back to the car so we could make a quick getaway later. When we got back to the Arena we watched some of the Hot Eight Brass Band while Elliott solved his Rubix Cubes (which seemed to impress some of the teenagers dotted around us). Then Elliott had chicken and chips for tea and went on another ride:

Then we went back for more bumper cars (this time where we drove in different cars) before we headed in The Rocking Chair stage (in The Barn) to watch Barryoke (Shaun Williamson signing karaoke with people). Elliott was not overly impressed by this act:

Finally we sat at the back for the first part of Two Door Cinema's set before heading back to the car and driving home. When we got home Elliott went straight to bed after sleeping for a lot of the journey home.
