a fairground life(kirkcaldy links market)

i went to the links market for a look today, the fair is impressive even to a proffesional like myself. over 40 large rides and countless other juveniles and games. the giant wheel and bomber2 are visible from a mile outside the town. no wonder the average person is bewildered as to how this small 'town' can overwhelm an area, assemble and then disappear again in only eight days. i wonder what the footfall is over the period of the fair? if you want atmosphere this is the place to be this week.

a fairground life(Ireland trip)

I left Armagh at 9am on Tue morning. I got to the docks at Larne for 11am and booked passage on the 1:30 pm sailing. On the ferry all freight drivers get a free meal. It was of a very good quality. The vehicles on the ferry were packed in tightly. They were so close to each other , I had to slither down the side of the cab to get out the vehicle.
The ferry docked at Cairnryan just before 3pm. I drove straight to Edinburgh to the next fair and got there for 6:30pm. My son "r" met me there and we started to set the ride up. By 9pm we were heading back to Glasgow. It was a long day. I'll post an article about the whole trip later this week.
