All the fun of the Fair

Oxford's biggest fair is on today and tomorrow and is down the main (and very wide) street of St Giles. Not sure of it's beginnings but it has a long old history and is alway the first Monday and Tuesday after 1st September.

Having waited for Natasha to come back from her first day back at work in 6 weeks - she gets the holidays off! - we then all cycled the 2 miles to the City Centre. We haven't been for a couple of years so the kids were very excited about getting down there at last.

Jack loved it, and to be fair they were all good and didn't ask to go on every single ride, which was just as well as they are all £1.50 and more these days! Charlotte proved herself to be the dare-devil of the family wanting to go on some strange Twister-type ride that bounced like mad and then on the Waltzers. Don't think that she has been on the Waltzers before - they are certainly not like the Tea-cups as I heard Lewis describe them...

Lewis and Jack went on some tame roller coaster and then they all had a go at Hook-a-duck and proceeded to win bows and arrows with those window suckers on them. Which has meant hours of fun ducking arrows flying all over the place this evening, thank god they have gone to bed, although my desk chair has an arrow stuck to it!

Got some candy floss and some donuts and still feel sick now...oh well, all the fun of the fair.

Funniest memory was seeing Jack trying to climb some stairs in the Fun House when they moved as you try and walk up them, he couldn't figure it out and get taking loads of steps and getting nowhere. (You had to be there...)
