The 2019 Spring Fair

Over the course of Spring Fair Day this Saturday the meteorological keynotes were a nippy breeze and intermittent sunshine, but in fact we had virtually every kind of weather at some point apart from snow. There were a couple of spits and spots of rain and one thirty-second shower accompanied by sudden gusty wind which sent the fainter-hearted fairgoers scattering, but most of the time it was fine and another of those years when I could see ranks of dark cloud heading over the hills and then peeling off to east and west and harmlessly passing by. We would have had a hard job to match up to the bumper takings of last year, but things went moderately and there were no disasters. The Air Cadets attended for the first time and their assistance putting up and taking down tents and gazebos bought them free hot dogs and burgers. When the Infants School came on to do their customary Country Dancing I heard two teenage girls reminiscing about when they did the same.
