It’s that time of year when the fairs and fetes are coming thick and fast. Personally, I can’t wait for them to all be over so I can stop feeling the relentless pressure to ‘get involved’ and ‘have fun’. (I’m a misterable so-and-so – fun is anathema).
But, hey, I take my Out-And-About-Dad duties seriously, and if my kids find enjoyment with covering their faces with candy floss and throwing up on teacup rides, my job is to facilitate.
And do you know what? It was fantastic. All of it. Highlights were the pirate ship bouncy castle, the oldest decorating cakes, the middle ‘un riding a surf board, the littlest getting a tattoo on his fat belly. I know, I know, all sounds rather tame, but they enjoyed it, me and their mother enjoyed it – especially when we stumbled across a simply awesome blues band letting rip in the sunshine fronted by that famous bluesgrass singer…Bill Oddie. And he was billoddie goodie, too!
What a fun filled day! Helped by list of sunshine of course
they are a fab collection of photos – that surf board ride looks fun mind you most of the activities you have shown do! Oh to be a kid again! X
Wow Bill oddie…How fab! Great combination of photos…looks like a great, fun day!
I’m glad you had a good time. Looks amazing! x
Great pics! And glad you had so much fun. I did too, and no, I was not at Cybermummy!
Love it! We are *not* summer fayre people really but we did Kieran’s school fayre the other day and had a blast! Maybe they are growing on us?
Well done you, I say that as I heard a Dad in London Fields explaining to a crying child they weren’t going to the fair, it was too hot to queue up etc. But you all look like you are all having a wonderful time in the sunshine. Thanks for your comments on my post, I really love the footy match analogy
It almost feels like all of those not at Cybermummy made a commitment to having a very happy weekend anyway. Lovely pictures and is that a smile I see on your face?
I wish Bill Oddie had been at CyberMummy!
Looks like you had such a lovely weekend Keith and I love the photos – all so wonderful and really capture what a fantastic time you had.
A picture paints a thousand words, and your photos scream fun! & candy floss, not had that in ages…
