Country Fair

We took Alex to the Country Fair on Parkers Piece today. The weather was lovely and there were plenty of animals and things for her to point at.


There was some sort of medieval crafts fair with plenty of quaffing going on which is probably authentic enough.


We spent quite a while watching the Molly Dancing which was very funny.




Alex and I shared a plate of couscous and felafel which was a good idea right up until she crawled across the plate. Knees of humus - yummy.



I discovered a method of getting Alex to stand up from sitting without having to hold on to anything! She wanted to eat my mobile phone and when I took it away from her she was so furious she stood up and shrieked at me. It took her a couple of seconds to realise what happened and sit down again. Very exciting. After that she managed to stand up a couple of times and did some stomping around with Ian.


And then there was the other exciting moment where she crawled off intent on playing with the birds of prey.


Finally there was a bit of a delay for anyone trying to drive down Mill Road. The engine was very noisy and yet Alex managed to nap through it all.
