Dickensian Festival - Great

This Sunday morning was a tough start.

It was cold and raining steadily.

However there was a great spirit about, with determined smiles and friendly banter everywhere.

Like yesterday, hundreds of people came from every direction to get 'the show on the road'.

Intense but quiet concentration ensured that everything was ready on time.

Today we ducked into Poppies for a warm and friendly breakfast after a quick tour of the stalls as they set up for a second day. People were looking forward to better weather later on and they were right.

The town remained in full swing right up to 6.00pm as stalls were packing up. Everyone was having a good time and I was glad to have left my camera at home to just join in as a participant rather than as an observer.

The mulled wine went down with a friend at their home even though they couldn't be out to enjoy the goings on.
