I just wanted to say that reading about your day at the fair made me want to go one. I live in England and the only fair I know of is Goose Fair and that's in my home town of Nottingham, a long way from where I live now. And the last timeIi went it was so packed you could hardly move. The speciality of Goose Fair is cheap nasty toys, toffee apples and brandy snaps.
And I wanna see a five hundred pound pumpkin, you are sooo lucky.
Although my hubby and I did get to resuce a Gannet (frightenly big sea bird, with a sharp beak that likes to try and peck people who are helping it) yesterday, but I don't know what that has to do with anything.
Anyway, thank you for your wonderful description of a day at the fair. It really did make me smile. Especially the bit about 'well poo on her' you charmer you.
I'm going now, becasue I'm even more shy than you and I'm on the verge of deleting what I've written, which is what usually happens to my posts.
Linz.
