The festival of thrift.....

     .....my birthday treat.

We all squashed in to the car and travelled all the way up to Darlington, just to see.....

    .....the biggest pig ever....

 

     .....from all angles.... 

      .....peruse the many interesting stalls.....just so many ideas and pretty things...

      Natter to the local policeman.....about bikes of all things.....it was lovely to hear all the Northern accents again......

      ......make a turban from an old shirt.....and a hair band as modelled by Nev....

         Trying on.....

      Giggling at the many entainers......and trying to keep out of the way of her and her bike...

     .......acquiring far too many items in the swap shop stalls 

(Sara Singh you have a lot to answer for)

      .......staring in amazement at some of the performers on stage.....

        Blurry, but scary too by Pete's reckoning.....

      And scoffing a whole Nutella crepe when you think no-one is watching......

         .....spotted you through my zoom lens Selina.   The food was yummy even if queues were huge....oh that lemon cake.....nom  nom nom.

        ........and even getting dressed up as a tap of all things.

Yes the festival of thrift really was good fun.
