Mill Road Winter Fair

And a sunny day for it - hurray!
Went to the opening (short speeches from the Chair of the Fair Committee, the main sponsor - local estate agent, and the Mayor, to open the Fair) and then did my stint as a steward. As more of the road was closed to traffic this year, the stewards' job largely consists of providing information to the public (where are the nearest loos, where can I see the Morris dancers next, etc) but also dealing with vehicles wanting to come onto the road or cross it from side-roads. Only had to sort two of these situations, both resolved amicably. Using a two-way radio while wearing an over-decorated hat for the Hats! competitions is quite fun too.
Saw lots of people I knew, walked the whole length of the road, looking at stands and performers, visited the art exhibition, and enjoyed various types of food and drink ('Old Smokey' hot dog for lunch - yum!). Finished the afternoon with mulled wine in my local pub.
