Hop weekend

This weeked was the hop festival in town. A fabulous celebration of all things kent including morris dancing, beautiful craft stalls and of course hops and their produce!!! iykwim!!

I love this weekend. Since having the girls i tend to go down early to have a really good look through the craft and produce stalls. It gets so busy later on in the day it is hard to get a buggy about and we live just that little bit too far away to expect Emily to walk all the way.

So we went down early Saturday and Sunday and it was great.

Emily loved the tap dancing people!

Shire horses pulling a cart!

A quick ride on a lady bug!

We had time to enjoy the beautiful sunshine and a nice cup of tea.

And some cake of course!

The hop festival has loads of great memories for me. A bit more restrained in the last few years. There is some great music on different stages at different pubs and venues but it is not really that child friendly and i did not have the energy for it (another sign of age!) Ian of course went out and got wasted on saturday!!
