For anyone who likes fairs I highly recommend the annual Pinner Fair. Its been running for approximately 700 years and is protected by Royal Charter. Its only a one day event, and is fairly unique in being a true street fair even to this day.

It operates on a Wednesday, usually in late May or June, so keep an eye out for it BG.

Also Beconsfield fair. May 10th. Also been running for about 600 years. Tis on this day you are supposed to plant out you runner beans.

Also Amersham fair. October 18 & 19. Also been running for hundreds of years. Tis on the date you are supposed to pull you onions for drying

They probably attend in shifts as they will need some kip in between events. :lol:

News on the fair front, looked pretty empty when I went to Argos, but I think the sun is trying to come out so I think that will make a difference.

I admire your optimism but I have my doubts. The cloud may be thinning a bit, but its still cloud and I don't think the rain has quite finished with us yet. Fingers crossed though.
