Found at the Fair!

Now I’ve always hated funfairs, even as a child. Too noisy! Too crowded! Too scary! But I’ve always loved markets – local markets I mean, full (ideally)of stalls selling freshly picked lettuce and spinach, earth-covered newly-pulled potatoes or carrots. Local cheeses. Local fish. Local anything really.

But … I haven’t got time this week to curate photos from dozens of irresistible markets in France, in Spain, in Germany for this week’s Lens-Artists Challenge, Found at the Fair or Market, hosted by Anne-Christine. Most of my Spanish family is coming over for a fortnight. Hooray! So I’ll use this opportunity to present just one photo, taken when they were with us last year, and we visited Beamish and its properly old fashioned fairground. It can serve for Leanne’s Monochrome Madness too.

I’m off duty now. No posts (apart from Indian Friday, which I’ve scheduled). No comments. No visits to all the blogs I enjoy reading. My daughter will usually be working remotely: so we’ll be i/c the children, now 4 years old and 20 months. So … a different kind of duty, even more pleasurable than the world of blogging.

  9. It’s a beautiful shot. 4 and 20 months are not the easiest ages to look after, though a lot of fun. Enjoy the break and all that goes with it. I’m probably going to post again on Monday because I’m not good at keeping stuff ‘bottled up’. Sort of clearing the decks for the UK and beyond xx

  12. We all need a break! and you will be busy. Enjoy the family time and I will see you on the other side. I am not fond of fairs either, but I do enjoy the carousel… strange we didn’t find one in our travels, the one I remembered in Paris wasn’t there or my memory was off. Our nine and a half grandies are pulling themselves up and standing rather wobbly… next steps are steps, oh my. Peace.
