All's Fair

 Another beautiful day, which I felt would be wasted if I stayed at home. I had a quick google to see if there was anything on close by , and I found that Dunderry Fair was only 30 minutes away. So off I set.

I was a bit concerned when I arrived at the car park and I was directed in through a farmyard. There were no signs but at least some of the routes were blocked off. I was very relieved to arrive at a field full of cars.

I parked up and made my way out through the field to the road, picking my way through the cowpats!

Obviously lots of people had the same idea as me. I wandered through the crowds, looking at farm animals

Fierce looking roosters

notice the way I didn't say "cocks"!

and I even watched a dog beauty pageant! This was my favourite

I plonked my ass on a bale of hay for a rest and to listen to the music. There was a couple beside me. We got chatting and I discovered that the husband was mad for dancing but the wife had had a recent knee replacement and couldn't dance. I don't know how it happened but I ended up entering the jiving competition with him, with his wife's blessing!

Now given that we had never danced together before, we didn't do too badly at all. We weren't in the first few couples to be eliminated. But we got nowhere near the finalists obvs.

Not only did we not win, but I lost an earring with all the turning and spinning..

Though come to think of it I might have lost that earlier when I went on the Twister hurdy--gurdy.

Much more likely!

Lovely fun day. Definitely better than staying at home!
