Queen's Park Festival

I'd been to the Queen's Park Festival many years ago, on a day when, in the middle of the afternoon, the heavens opened and the rain poured down, and it was only a long plastic mac that saved me from being completely soaked - an umbrella would have been completely useless.

Today the sun was shining, and the park was alive with people all enjoying the festival, the park and the sun.

There were plenty of stalls, though the prices for things like cakes and jam and honey were rather steep.   There were also a lot of craft stalls, but none selling anything I really wanted.

There was, though, plenty of entertainment for everyone, especially the children, and the atmosphere was quite jolly.

I went with a friend and we had a cup of tea in the park cafe before going and getting something to eat at a Lebanese restaurant where the menu included a bowl of very nice soup at a very reasonable price.
