Hats, jerseys, gloves, coats, even scarfs - you certainly wouldn't have thought the crowd was in the same climate as the performers.

Commercialism seems fair low key - a food van and the entrance fee (which I'm sure is needed as a control on numbers) was really very reasonable.Sandy's witteringshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05009803939431014995noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3473643361564881319.post-24323911731306145272012-05-08T12:27:17.881+01:002012-05-08T12:27:17.881+01:00Excellent photos!
