Spring Fair 2016

The storm clouds skirted the field on Saturday for the Swanvale Halt church Spring Fair. We had a minute's shower at about 1.45 (just as the Infants School children were massing for their country dancing), but that was it, and for the rest of the time the sun and the clouds danced around one another, the former often taking the lead role. The field was always busy; we took more in stall fees from charities and organisations than for a good long year; and although it wasn't as warm as last year that didn't seem to put anyone off. At the Messy Church stall they made a massive model of Guildford Cathedral which was, shall we say, hard to miss. It was topped by Angel Barbie, fitted with plastic wings and a cardboard crown, and sprayed gold, just like the real thing. Possibly.
