Yesterday was Tavistock Goose Fair, which is one of the oldest fairs in England, tracing it's history back for almost 900 years. Originally named as farmers brought their geese to be sold and fattened up for Christmas, there was not much evidence of this yesterday. Only a few pens with geese were in evidence and even less of our four legged livestock on display. Most people though were more keen on the stalls and fair rides such as this one, FreakOut. (I nearly did when I saw it... needless to say I don't have any pictures of the view from the top!!)
The Duke of Bedford must have wondered what all the noise was for...!
