The Woodland Fair

Many thanks for all your comments on my previous post - they have all helped - especially the ones from you have have been there, done that and are wearing the T shirts. It was hardly the heist of the century - the daring thief (for that is what I shall call him in polite company!) only managed to get away with £20, the "crapest phone" in the world (the kids description)- recently purchased for £10 - now £5 in the Orange shop!! and he may make a bit of money selling her provisional licence for ID purposes, so possibly as minor crime as you can get. But in real terms, the knock to her confidence and her extreme fear when she didn't have any money to get home and no phone to contact anyone are the real crime. Her bag was zipped and had a clasp too - I am now on the lookout for a clutch bag with a myriad of internal pockets - and a wrist strap.

Any way, back to Sunday. At Clumber Park, they were holding a Woodland Fair, and I really enjoyed looking around this.
I stumbled across the Green man that Sandie had met a few weeks ago.
And watched a Coracle being made and then floated in the lake.

I thought the extreme heat was coming from the charcoal maker, but it wasn't switched on - turned out it was the sun!!!

The Pizzas in the wood fired oven took 90 seconds to cook!!!!!

The man who lived in the caravan ( a couple of posts ago) made these wood carvings

There was also a wood turner letting people have a go at turning wood using your foot as power.

And a lovely grey horse who was used to pull logs along. His mane reminded me of dreadlocks.

We hadn't known that the fair was on, so that was a nice surprise. It was free to go in, but I did buy a flagon of cider from the cider maker, worth £5 of any ones money.
