I’m up north so unless the fair heads up here one day I have to admire the skills and the vehicles from afar. Also now I can add to my list of Carters admiration’s!!! Frank must be a Scammell and Steam Jedi and Saffi (whose name I just learned) is a total deadringer for my dog Willow. Black on Brindle with white chin and chest and long snout, like Staffies of old! I wonder if Saffy has alternate black and white toenails too?
Thanks blogger and have a brilliant season Carters.

Cheers!

This is truly amazing, getting a glimpse of how it’s all done. Actually, I’m sure a lot of people will be able to further appreciate the actual fair (including me!), now that we’ve seen all the hard work that went into it. I do hope it turns out to be a huge success.

Thanks for sharing this article, as it opens up another fascinating portion of the London culture and history that will surely be of great interest to many expats here.

(A little pity: not a single of the painted horses to be seen …)

Wish you all a good thirty-eighth season!

Love & Peace

Great that they are preserving a part of history and tradition like this. Valerie
