a fairground life

Well its nearly the end of this fair, I ve been here for nearly a month now. Its time to start thinking about moving on. Its amazing how much clutter accumulates about the place when you are not moving every week. So I will get it all cleared away. I want a quick pull down and exit on Sunday night, especially as I have three trips to do this year.The next fair is only 30 miles away but by the time I do all the rakes it adds up to about 180 miles! We open there on Wednesday night. The main day is the last Sunday when the highland games is on. I hope it stops raining soon because this fair can be soft. In 2002 the fair was cancelled altogether when a flash flood hit on Tuesday night! The whole fair was ready for operation, but the water level rose to around 300mm all over the fairground and that was that. I'm looking forward to moving on, as the long hours here are getting to me now. I will go and try to book an Mot test date for the skydiver unit this week, if I'm lucky I might get it through the test before we move off. I was offered another event for the miami today, but I can't do it because it falls with another fair, as I've said before-"it's either a feast or a famine!"
