Raiding Vikings (though the little one at the back looks like one of my ex Officers)

Hi All
This weekend Lorraine Mat and Thomas joined us. We have had yet another lovely weekend in spite of the weather, Today we went to the Marbury fete, the fete is organised by the village council who do a very good job of and all money raised goes to the parish church. today they had the reenactment of the Vikings raiding a English village very amateurish but great fun to watch and the reenactor's do it with the greatest of enthusiasm and really take on the roles seriously.
there was steam engines, Newfoundland Dog display, Vintage cars, vans and Motorbikes,
I'm not keen on the vintage vehicles as there was one car and one bike that I had owned ?? and it really gives your ego a boot to see them in the vintage section. Thomas loved sitting on the old tractors in fact it was very difficult to get him off it the rain hadn't started again we may have still been there.
But the best display was the puppet show, as usual the kids sat there uninterested and all the adults were doing the shouting "he's behind you" Thomas enjoyed it but wanted to smack the naughty bad wolf.
As it was a village fete it rained, I have come to the conclusion that just like test matches rain is part and parcel of any British Village Fete and we should never moan its all part of the fun??
Keep smiling
Big Al
