Some things I did yesterday, in non-chronological order. 🎪 I attended Cheam Charter Fair. This happens every May and has done since 1259, allegedly. I missed the mayoral procession where everyone dresses up but Park Road was still amok with folk in period costume making royal progress along the row of stalls. This is the bishop and his entourage stopping by the Brownies and offering to take some group selfies. A much better photograph would have been King Bobby VIII sat on a wall eating an ice cream cornet but I didn't risk that. I've written about Cheam Charter Fair before so I won't go into similar detail... not that I expect you'll go back and read that so perhaps I should mention the splat-a-rat, the face-painting, the care home offering free notepads nobody was taking, the ubiquitous pot plants, the handicrafts and the extraordinary good value at the Mother's Union cake stall. It's not something worth traipsing across London for but as a beacon of annual community loveliness…
