Big Bannock 2009

[maree]

Well everyone seems to have survived another fantastic weekend at the Big Bannock.........
The wet weather did nothing to dampen spirits.......although my camera didn't like the wet much and the photos aren't too great. I'll post a few when I get home tonight.

The main aim of the bannock is to raise money for Cancer research and local charities and everyone has a great time doing so. I did hear that the hellery auction yesterday afternoon must have raised quite a bit of money........especially when items such as three onions were selling for £40 and an insole sold for £25!! Rhubarb wine was selling at over £100 per bottle

Scarecrow festivals, scary dogs, Onions @ 3 for £40:00 and Rhubarb wine £100 a bottle, I reckon there are strange forces at work and I do not mean this Labour government we are suffering under.
