May Fair at Grange

Today was the inaugural May Fair at Lanham Park in Grange.

Eloise and I were all set for a trip to Movie World to make use of our free pass, and out walking the dogs this morning up at Bunjerbill Forest when Val texted us to inform us that this fair was on; it hadn't previously clicked.

So after a democratic discussion we'll be going to MW tomorrow and went to this fair thingy today.

When we arrived it was just getting going and jazz music was being sung from a little stage. Eloise initially queued for face painting before impatience conquered and she went on the Jumping Castle (translation for the linguistically inadequate: Bouncing Castle); having lost her place in the painting queue pity was taken upon her to the extent that she had a couple of quick flowers painted on to let her jump the line.

Then she went and stood in front of the stage for a while on her own, inspecting the singer. "This one's for all of you that have been in Love" he announced before muttering "or have used syringes" and launching into I've Got You Under My Skin.

Back she came after a while and announced that the guy had been singing to her exclusively and that she had decided on the basis of this that he must really like her.

After that band had finished there was some entertaining flamenco dancing for a while.

Then a marginally-less-painful-than-usual children's entertainer entertained the children. With fluffy animals.

Nicole arrived around that point and soon a little Big Band started up who were very competent. Eloise and a few other kids jigged away. Some poor little boy had been trained to do the cheesy Pulp Fiction fingers-over-the-eyes move. Hmmmm.

We had to bail out before the tenors started as Nicole had to be at work and supper was in need of preparing.

Chips again.
