Oh well, it's that time of the year again; the side shows (a fun fair) have arrived. All the awnings have been erected, the rides are up and running and the decibels of canned noise are blasting out as always. Just the same as always, our weather has changed...for the worse.
The fair comes up usually twice a year. Without fail, bad weather follows behind and we have to wrap up in waterproofs and warm clothing. We've been lucky to have temperatures of 10 or 11 degrees centigrade this week and with a Northerly wind.
Psychologically, my mind and body tells me it is summer. Physically it is not. I have caved in; I am wearing layers, not under layers in the vest and thermals sense, but top and over layers, like tank tops,tie-up cardigans and jackets. In no way, does the latter replace a coat. A coat is definitely needed.
I wish the side shows a safe speed on their next journey elsewhere,(and soon I hope). ![]()
