All along, down along, out along lea…
A glorious day for Widecombe Fair – 8th. September 2015…
Displays of vintage farm machinery in action…
and traditional rural crafts…
and skills demonstrated.
Absolutely fabulous – Elliru Designs. The best smock maker in the south west – I have lost count of how many smocks I have bought from Angela over the years – but I have them in a whole rainbow of colours and fabrics; Linen, moleskin, velvet, fleece…(Always available at Tavistock market) – or here http://ellirudesigns.com/
Bagsy the last one – literally! Colourful stall holder selling me her last super-soft ‘Twool Dartmoor Woolly Shopper’ of the day – I only had ten pounds left in cash – so she spontaneously knocked a bit off. Cheers lovely lady! http://www.twool.co.uk/
Super-soft Dartmoor Whiteface fleece – on a living exhibit.
Another chance to hold a beautiful Tawny Owl from the Hawk and Owl Sanctuary.
Living history encampment. Life in Anglo-Saxon times…
‘Woden’ and his impressive raven ‘Muninn’.
Away from the fun of the fair – and heat outside. Inside cool Widecombe church; the organist was playing Abide with Me…a beautiful five minutes spent here…
Last blooms of Summer. Beautiful exhibits on display.
The sky’s the limit…
especially in the bale tossing competition!
Ladies, gents – and horses! All well catered for at Widecombe Fair!
Always one of the most enjoyable days in the Dartmoor year.
