Here we go again…

Yes, it’s that time of year when the funfair comes to centre ville

The event is to mark the fete patronale at the weekend but, this year, more time is being given to the fair people to set up and clear - well officially that is because previously they took the same time anyway! So, this year all who live and work in the town centre were given notice to park their vehicles elsewhere for a week, not just a couple of days.

The first few arrived on Tuesday, 20th September and more on Wednesday morning.

View from a first-floor front window...





...and from a side window...




Tip-toeing between and across many obstructions on the way back to the house on Thursday afternoon…




...not so easy when walking with great difficulty even on two crutches!




 No doubt the side of the house will soon fill up - see what Friday brings!  

Friday afternoon - and, like Topsy, it’s growing…












Unnervingly quiet on Saturday morning but at 4.00.p.m. the funfair burst into life...lights! music! action!

On y va!  - let’s go!

  1. I guess the only way is to go with the flow and enjoy it . . . as far as possible. Good luck!

  2. We mostly view from on high! lol At least this year there has been less and quieter music - apparently just one source instead of many competing!
