May Fair on Wheatsheaf Common

Enjoyed a lovely afternoon out at Horsell Scouts and Guides May Fair today. Well, it was lovely when the sun was shining. When the clouds came over, an icy wind blew and it was seriously freezing out there.

As ever the scouts and guides put on a great show, from tug of war and it's a knockout for the children, through the brilliant Karen Clarke dancers, birds of prey, martial arts and a fire brigade rescue demonstration. My younger daughter was fascinated by the man being rescued from a car by the fire brigade. She also loved the big slide and mini-waltzers.

We walked around the fair with Lib Dem parliamentary candidate Rosie Sharpley who had some interesting chats with our Horsell neighbourhood police officer, the local fire brigade and local residents.

Horsell Residents signed up some new members, there was much interest in Horsell Common Preservation Society and I was pleased to see they now have postcards of the Pegasus sculpture on Broomhall Common.

A hot topic of conversation for me was what class our children would be in when they start at Horsell Village this September. Didn't find anyone else who'll be in the same class but did learn about somebody we know from a local toddler group.
