Saturday at the fair..

Yesterday we spent at the Kräklingbo Country Fair in eastern Gotland.

It was a great sunny late summerday and it was crowded with island folks, animals and all kinds of Gotland goodies produced in the island. My sister fell instantly in love with this handsome bull and simply had to try to ride it ..

Old fashioned goodies spark memories of childhood..

An honest answer from the honey man who is consulted on beehiving behaviour..

Fair traders..

Sweet chicks..

Sweet kids..

The Gotland flag..

Visitors chatting..

More market goodies..

Handknitted socks..but the day was hot and commerce for wollens was not quite..

Miss Piggy puffing away..

..and the fascination of bright balloons..

Freshly printed T-shirts for sale..

Frilled nylon frocks..

..and at this point we had had enough of fair life and buzzle and headed promptly for the serenity by the neighbouring sea..

The beauty of a fishingboat at Herrvik, eastern Gotland just before the rain and the end of a day at a genuine country fair in Sweden.
