Hookhills Village Cherry Pie Fayre
The weather was warm, the sun was out with a few clouds around, which was perfect really, especially for the amount of children there. We all like the sun to be shining but in the middle of July that could make it a bit too hot for an afternoon spent solely outside. I know for sure my tiny person would have been grumpy if it had been too hot. I still managed to burn only one shoulder, never seem to get an even tan. I always end up with half a leg or arm catching the sun and the rest of me is so white I just reflect it!
It was so busy, so many people from around the area and some I didn't recognise. It was so lovely to see a community come together to raise money and enjoy the hard work put into making it a brilliant day. There was stalls, a beer tent, a pimms tent, a stage and lots of activities for the children.
This was the first Cherry Pie Fayre of, I am sure, many. And this was my tiny persons first Fayre experience. Granted, she is too young to even know what it was or appreciate everything going on around her, but as the years go on she will get more and more out of it and one day she will be the kid jumping on the bouncy castle and demanding another ice lolly!
This was also our first family day out, although Daddy couldn't come. But it was me and my parents, my brother and his girlfriend and her little boy and my Nan. These things are so important to show our tiny people the values of having family around.
She was, once again, a little angel, the noise and crowds breezed past her while she slept and she finally got grumpy when it was feeding time which then involved her first visit into Hookhills Club (Mummy never went in there for cider before you were conceived, Mummy never drank too much or wobbled her way home from here.....honest)!
I love the fact that wherever I seem to go I bump into people who are delighted to be able to have a cuddle with her. Inevitably I was going to bump into a lot of people here as this is where I grew up for 25 years.
My favourite local band was performing (3bf) which meant I could dance her back to sleep along to their superb versions of songs. She seemed to like them, I may have to invite them over to sing to her whenever she won't settle!!!
All in all I was so happy to see my family having such a fun day, they all work hard and they deserve to enjoy themselves and let their hair down!
Love you all.
