On Saturday 17th June we went along to the Carnival at Water Orton.
To be honest it wasn't my cup of tea - it was so hot and humid and there were far too many people milling around and loud music! But it was nice to see E's flat again and get away from the builders' thumping and banging!!!!
We left the car at E's and walked to the park where the Carnival was being held. We'd missed the procession which was in the morning but there were plenty of stalls and a few very good ones selling craft and vintage type items.
There were a few fairground rides. You wouldn't get me on this! I nearly had a hissy fit at Alton Towers on the Runaway Mine train and please don't mention that huge swinging pirate boat it was a dreadful experience!
Two postboxes to add to my collection - there is a hashtag on Twitter called #Postbox Saturday.
I only made one purchase a vintage style blue flowery jug but when I got home the handle fell off the paper carrier bag and the jug smashed onto the stone step in the porch :( B thinks he may be able to superglue the handle, which is in several pieces!, back on. I'd bought it for the caravan to use as a vase!)
All photos taken by me with the Panasonic Lumix FZ330 bridge camera. (I don't particularly rate my photos but if anyone wants to use one I would be grateful for an email first - thanks).
