Just for fun …

July 5, 2013 by lynmooneyarts

When was the last time you went to a fun fair? What was your favourite ride or stall? As a child I liked to feel dizzy on the Waltzers and fly high on the Chair-o-planes. I love a bit of hook-a-duck but I’ve yet to win a prize! Do you remember being a showchild helping run the family business? Did you go on many rides? Did you ever sneak off to play when you should have been grafting?
