The Balloon Man’s Assistant

The last, for the time being at least, of the images from the Food Festival. This young lady was, I think, the assistant to the guy who was making the balloon sculptures for the kids at the festival. View the full post

Oakwell Hall Yorkshire Day Event

Oakwell Hall Yorkshire Day Event

We took our eldest grandkids to the Yorkshire Day Event at Oakwell Hall, Birstall yesterday and these are some shots of a medieval music group who were performing admirably in the courtyard of the visitor centre. Sorry I don’t have the name or any information about the musicians. This event seems to have become an annual one, but seems to be getting smaller year by year. There seemed to be very little there this year, so we didn’t stay very long and took the kids to the Dewsbury Canal Festival instead. It’s a pity, but the Oakwell Hall event seems to be dying, to such an extent that it should either be put out of it’s misery or somehow revived. View the full post

Struggling and Finishing

Struggling and Finishing

Continuing with the Coal Race theme some more photos from the last year’s women’s race. Although the majority of the participants always look to be struggling with the bag of coal very few seem to drop out of the races, most completing the race, encouraged by family and friends. View the full post
