What a beautiful Saturday yesterday! It was full of sunshine, and we visited a fete in Finstock village for a couple of hours. Fete is a traditional community event to raise money for local causes and aid charity.
The fete was set on the school grounds, creating a cozy and welcoming atmosphere.
An ice cream van served assorted types of creamy and smooth ice cream, perfect for a warm day.
A few tents were set up, each offering something different.
One tent was dedicated to raffles, filled with enticing prizes.
The raffle was especially fun for me as I kept winning alcoholic drinks!
Another tent served delicious burgers and hotdogs.
And freshly baked spuds.
Plenty of sweets like cotton candy to satisfy anyone with a sweet tooth.
Handmade crafts were available for sale.
There was also a bar for drinks.
We had the option to sit on hay bales or at tables, adding to the rustic charm of the event.
Children entertained the adults with their endearing presentations and dances.
A corner for face painting.
You could drive a tractor for a pound, which was a unique and exciting experience.
Additionally, owls were on display, and for a £3 donation, I had the chance to hold one, which was a highlight for me. They use the money to raise the owls.
Eagle Owl on my hand.
This owl has very attractive, beautiful orange eyes!
Barn Owl looks so delicate and cute.
Eagle Owl, almost like a painting.
Tawny Owl is fluffy and cute, and children seem to pick to hold it.!
Finally, we called it a day and went home, where I cooked tasty roast pork in a cast iron skillet and baked a delicious cherry pie, ending the weekend experience on a perfect note.
Wishing everyone a lovely weekend!
