What does Bunting Make you Think of?

I have been thinking about how people persieve a certain item to a certain person, well do we think of bunting to a person or to an event, maybe a party person? What kind of  person would use bunting, I think its cool and would have bunting around my room to make it pretty, does that make me a girly girl?



Valentines Day?



Deffinatly Christmas

Pirates

Brigthon, Cornwall, Blackpool?

The Jubilee

Shop Keeper

Llandudno Pier

So I know these are kind of a mix match of things, but I think what stood out to me was Llandudno, I go there quiet a lot and did when I was a child too, there isn't a particular tupe of person that goes there; but the whole persona of Llandudno is very cute, and Antiquey/Vintage with the kids sitting on the pier eating ice cream and watching Punch and Judy, the multi coloured Hotels along the sea front. And all the Bunting, for miles and miles and miles along the sea front, everyone walks under it, not taking much notice of it flying in the sky above their heads whilst they eat there fish and chips smuthered in salt and vingar, YUMMY, watching the bacnd play in the victorian black band stand...with bunting around it!
Bunting...its everywhere, why have I never noticed it before, where has it come from? Is it something Queen Victoria bought over from Germany like the Christmas tree?

I have done my research into this! Apparently it means more than just these pieces of fabric that hang down from the skay and flap in the wind. It is also a bird, it can mean a baby sleeping and also mean baby fat. And bunting wasn't originally called bunting, it was called Tammy, and it started being made in the 17th century and was used for signaling ships, mainly with the Royal Navy, Pirates would call them the colours. The person on the boats in charge of putting the bunting up was called Bunts, a term that is still used today on ships for the communications officer.
