A giant load of liquorice, jelly babies and midget gems in 3 Kg bags was donated by the sponsors Tangerine Confectionery, and by the end of the afternoon it was almost completely gone. The four lovely lads above waited very patiently in a long queue before being able to make their adornments and I was really pleased they let me take their picture. I only managed to snatch a few, we were just too busy trying to keep the edible embellishments rolling out.
We met lots of great people and a special thanks goes out to Brenda from Surrey who battled through the seething melee in her wheelchair to bring us a cup of tea each - what a star.
If you've never been to this event, it really is worth going, for the great atmosphere and the on-street entertainment provided. This year there were some amazing sights, my favourite being a bright green strangely beautiful ostrich-like bird with an equally vibrant green rider - (actually all one talented person on stilts).

It was hectic fun wasn't it! I don't think I can face a jelly baby for a while though.
