The Beggars' Fair

Today wasn't meant to be sunny and hot.  But it was.  Very.  So I took myself off to The Beggars' Fair in Romsey.

At heart the Beggars' Fair is a free music festival with a lot of local-ish musicians of all sorts playing at pitches in the streets and gardens and outside the Abbey.  There are also a lot of stalls selling street food, braiding your hair or giving you glitter tattoos and face paintings (I declined, but watched the Mayor being given a glitter tattoo).  There were also Bulgarian dancers, morris men and an exhibition of wonderful handmade quilts.

The images I liked best from the day were this one of a musician playing for the morris men and, in extras, a great jazz singer just finishing her set, plus a girl taking a break at the back of one of the food wagons.  They all had smiles on their faces.  I, on the other hand, felt cooked and came back with a bit of a headache - all gone now thanks to a fruit smoothie chased with a large cup of coffee!

Hope you've all had a great Saturday  xx
