but it was annoying to be told by bees (and others) that on a car licence, you can only drive up to 3 and a half tonnes, which is quite restictive ....

aye, for new licenses this is true

Excellent report, I'm afraid ours is very different and involves booze and truffles and early flaking

Strawberry Fair really is the best day of the Festival Season because it marks the official start of it.

Only for you Southern lightweights
Some of us have festied already

...Best thing to happen at that point was Stig finding her lost hat in the dark! Very good luck, that ...

Wow! I love it when things like that happen!

..Thats a great report William, and I totally agree with you about the rubbish. It was shocking, like wading through it. And thanks for reminding me about the marvellous buggy steersman Grahame, he really had a tough job, with the incredible amount of litter.
I wonder why people think its ok to do this?
Anyway the beers were indeed excellent, you guys were all drinking pints as opposed to my halfs.


I would just like to mention, the double rainbow, which was very very nice.

That was a truly great festival, first time I'd been,will definalty make this a regular thing - was a bit hesitant to make the journey when I saw the rain in London that Saturday morning but glad I made the effort, got there about 4ish , thought I'd never find any other urbanites amongst the crowds, but I knew if I stayed near the pub I would be bound to run into some of you soon enough, and I did Nice to see WoW, Stig, Wyn and others (whose names I can't recall at the moment )
Journey home on the train was a laugh as well - thanks to some very generous geezahs who were sharing the carriage with us!
The batteries on my camera ran out so only a few of the photos I took on the day came out!

As anciernt threadbumps go, I'm really happy (for once ) about that one ....

Tort's and editor 's pictures brought back some nice old memories, as did my own War and Peace-length account (foot of previous page), the contents of which I've long ago forgotten ...

I'll be back next June (first Saturday in ... ), once some things are back to normal-ish
By then it will something like my twenty-fifth time. Or more!
Lots has changed at Strawberry Fair since 2005, but you can still have a cracking day
