French Fair

We went for a walk down to a nearby primary school on Sunday to enjoy their school fair or fete. The school is a bilingual one - it has lessons held in English and French. The fair was full of jumping castles, mechanical rides, fair floss, face painting and petting zoo. The kids loved it and would have stayed all day. They both loved a simple little merry go round - horses and ducks bobbing slowly up and down in a circle.

The most remarkable thing about the whole fair, apart from the size (it was much bigger than we had anticipated) was the food. There was an obvious French element. Crepes, baguettes and would you believe escargot? Yep - across the path from the crepes with lemon and sugar and the ham and cheese baguettes there was a stall selling snails. Yum.
