Kingston Green Fair '03 |
Another year, another set of pics from the
Green Fair,
set
as always, down Kingston way. It took me a little longer than
usual to get to
Waterloo station from Liverpool St. ('Red Nev' had mysteriously
developed wonky
steering along the way), but once there, the train ride was uneventful
and the bike ride to where
the event was held a doddle (I turned right on the canal, as opposed to
left, which got me a tongue-lashing from Dawn the previous year).
Anyway, here's the first
snap I got that day, and it features a person dressed up as a panda
collecting for the WWF
(not the wrestling bunch!)....
....while all around, you could see a typical
festy
scene
with
loads going on that afternoon....
....such as a little girl getting her
face
painted
below, while others did the communal thing on the
papier mache sculpture that you can see below....
....and lastly, a stall selling leprechaun hats
(hence
the jolly character on the background canvas)....
....with the lady whose stall it was,
snapped
at a
rare lull (it was pretty busy where she was located).
Back at the main stage, a collective by the name
of
Beyond
The Beat were to be found getting their
own rhythm going. Here two of them
below
having a bash (the guy in the fancy shirt
looked like he was most definitely
feeling it)....
....while their lady colleagues looked on....
....and a lady who was something of an authority on "pipe-cleaning" (a bloke I spoke to down in Clissold Park, Stoke Newington at a football table one evening will know what I mean!) did her bit to make the floor smoulder just a little bit that afternoon.
Just behind me, there was a dad with his kids
enjoying the music coming from the stage....
....as well as two lads with their faces painted.
