Pulborough Harvest Fair
No walk for us today,
just a stroll around the stalls at this extremely pleasant village fair. As well as many
local producers being there to sell and talk about their wares, there were
Morris
dancers, tractors, trucks, a scarecrow competition, ducks, chickens (for sale),
cows, bulls and donkeys. We watched
sheep dogs being put through obedience tests and best of all we watched some sheep being sheared.
The church tower was open and as we have always wanted to get the view from up
there we made a beeline for it. An added bonus was that we were able to tick off
another small ambition and do some bell ringing too.
