THIS is the time of year when our diaries are usually packed with any amount of festivals, parades, carnivals and shows to go to.
But, like last year, it's not happening again just yet. So we've been back into our archives and dug out this selection of images from the Blaenavon World Heritage Day costume parade which took place in June 2011. Were you there?
