There is always music, there are food and drink stalls and beer tents, and often various groups and clubs active in the village will either have a stall selling bric a brac or books, or they will perform on stage, singing or dancing.<br />Good weather is of course essential.Librarianhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05704656564078750607noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-13883584.post-85220639527543767572022-08-21T06:47:01.167+01:002022-08-21T06:47:01.167+01:00A gentle English show afternoon, the sun shines an...A gentle English show afternoon, the sun shines and people display their talent.
