Last weekend I was to be found at the New Forest Fairy Festival with number one son, his two boys and daughter A and her 3. The weather was glorious ……
there were Green Men
stilt walkers
lots of fairies, obviously ….
inflatable unicorns
wizards
and other beings
live bands
disgusting blue ice cream
and circus skills to try
a Fire Engine that the children could sit in with its very own Fairy
a man on a bicycle with a bubble machine at the back
dire warnings
and wonderful flags – (I want need one of these flags)
it was fun
a very Silly Saturday (and Sunday)
~
I’m so excited about this coming Silly Saturday …….. yes, that’s tomorrow! ……. there is a surprise in store …..
EeeeeeeeeeeK!

The only thing I found exhausting was the noise – every other stall seemed to have its own loud music blaring out. Luckily, I always carry ear plugs with me!

Looks like a good day out… with decent weather too… but that ice cream really does look foul to me! I really rather like the green man – in fact he looks a bit like he’s been crossed with a yeti.

Even worse, that ice cream was Bubblegum flavour – aaaaarghhh!!!!!! yuck!!!!!!

Looks fun didn’t know about it but I am sure I took the children to Burley on the bus but now there doesn’t seem to be one except the Tour bus – the way of the world I suppose.

That’s a shame – bus services declining everywhere. The festival happens each year.

I asked Auntie Google and she said this: http://www.faemagazine.com/scotlands-first-mystical-faery-ball/
but no Festival, perhaps you could find some other fairies and wizards and conjure one up?! 😉

Super day out, but I needed to see Fairy Daffodil please.

Haha! Sorry to disappoint but I’m afraid Granny Daffodil’s fairy costume stayed at home as it was far too hot for me to deal with dressing up AND grandchildren.
