Blowing bubbles at the fair

St Giles' Fair, Oxford. The bubbles caught my eye ...

"Since the nineteenth century, St Giles' Fair has been held on the Monday and Tuesday following the first Sunday after St Giles' Day (1 September). This means that when 1 September is a Saturday, the fair is held at the earliest possible time (3 & 4 September); but when 1 September is a Sunday, the fair is held at the latest possible time (9 & 10 September).

 

In 2008 it will be on 8 and 9 September."

 

A noisy time was had by my sister and I - the sights and smells of the fair.
