Lincoln- Christmas Fair 2003

(or should it be Fayre?)

Our friends took us to see Lincolns famous Christmas Fair, based on the Continental versions. Parking was the major issue here; we were competing with many thousands of visitors who all wanted to sample the 'ambience.' Up the only steep hill in Lincolnshire, there was no choice other than to follow the person in front. Go with the flow.

The Cathedral seen against a wintry December sky.

 

The crowd carried us slowly towards the castle grounds.
where stall holders are in festive garb for the purpose of making a bob or two. Lots of bottles and mulled wine.

Candy Floss and other sugary 'delights'.

 

and some nice 'healthy' burgers

 

A flare burns over one stall; a giant wheel in the background. Colourful lamps

A house window

 

Plenty going on and up and round at the Fair

 

A splendid traditional roundabout. and a big wheel.

On our way back past the Cathedral

 

against the flow of many more just arriving.

Well, it was OK, but a bit tacky for my taste.
