Why, yes, that’s a badger made of flowers
The last few church flower festivals were this weekend. Reminder, the church picks a theme, people in the village make flower arrangements around the theme and show them off in the church, they have a little festival in the churchyard with tea and refreshments and junk stalls and used books and cake stalls. It’s the most English thing ever.
The theme of this one was ‘novels’ – but everyone seems to have picked kids’ books. This is Wind in the Willows, obviously.
We bought some very nice things in the cake tent, which had been forced to accommodate two tombstones inside. The English have a real “in the midst of life…” attitude about such things.
And with that, it’s nearly over. I don’t think the circus is coming this year – it usually marks the end. There are a couple of country shows left.
Then comes the long slide into darkness. We’ve got to come up with something to do with ourselves this Winter or we’ll go mad, I tell you!
