May 2011 Bignor Park Fete time

 

We take cover
 How lovely to be invited back to Bignor Park Fete again.  Another friend kindly agreed to come and help make garlands with us.  We had fun, despite the slightly inclement weather....we were very lucky though, as the face painters allowed us to share a little bit of their gazebo to keep out of the rain.  We had lots of happy customers....The lady pictured below told us that she was one of our first customers in 2009.  She had come down from London to visit the fete.  Last time she was expecting; this time we met her toddler!  She was so pleased to see us and said we were right at the top of her list for the day!  One lady felt shy about wearing a garland, but her lovely labrador took on a most distinguished air once he had one round his neck.


A lovely faithful customer




I know I look handsome in this
 Luckily it did clear up a little towards the end of the afternoon and we even had a chance to go and admire the lovely scenery around the park.  It is such a beautiful spot....no wonder it's a great wedding venue.  We were also invited to come back to Bignor for the Weed and Wildflower Festival. 

Enjoying the view of the park
