Last Saturday Stuart and I went over to spend the day with
Judith, Gavin, Clodagh, Colin and the kids in lovely Coulsden.
In the afternoon we all drove to the annual Chipstead Fair.
It was nice fair actually - stalls with homemade jams, a huge tent to house the
best rhubarb and biggest marrow competitions, a bouncy slide for the kids, a
local choir singing songs from the shows, a brass band playing ABBA, stalls
selling various home crafts, a local falconer with some sleepy looking owls, a
rather sad looking candle stall, the local school gymnastics, that sort of
thing. It had just the right mix of cheese and good nature. Mind you, the
cheese stall itself was darned impressive!
In the evening the guys laid on a fantastic barbecue for us and
we drank the night away together swapping stories, laughing and being
entertained by the kids.
Great fun.
