Super Saturday on June 27th 2015

Once again, Magdalen Road ("The Village") was closed to traffic to allow al fresco dining and for a variety of stalls to sell their wares.  Here are some pictures of the event - this time, some of my pictures were taken just as the stalls opened, which explains the lack of people shopping.

Yes, we can buy CORNISH pasties here!

Ice cream was popular

Pipers Farm staff were busy preparing hot food

When was the last time you saw bales of hay in the village?  Pipers Farm provided these for their customers eating burgers and hot-dogs

Changing rooms were inside!

Cafe society, complete with table-cloths

Imaginative ways of holding the corners of the gazebo in place!

More cafe cociety

I can't think of any stories that start with a salad; can you?

More al fresco food

Stall selling fantasy pictures

Normally, you don't loiter on the pedestrian crossing here

The gazebo is specially clean, to judge by its location

The day wasn't complete without an ice-cream, made locally, of course!
