Another day of sun and showers with the Farningham Hobby Horse Project – this time part of the Ramsgate Squall. We were on the costal path in George VI Park – with Weapons of Sound next door to us as our sound- track.
Great visitors, but a constant watch on the sky and all hands to get the plastic bags on the horses to prevent them getting ruined in the showers made it all a bit wearing.
Ros my partner arrived wanting to try setting them up in a circle reminiscent of a fairground carousel. It took longer to set up but worked well – allowing visitors to go inside and look at the inside rows as well as the outer ring. Less problem with small children wanting to stroke and touch them this time. Last time the parents couldn’t get in to get them out!
Finally left defeated by the weather, accompanied by the drummers, the cafe couple and the visitors. All damp but having had a good day.
All very British by the seaside.
