Oak Apple Day - Great Wishford





We didn't go to the ceremony at Salisbury Cathedral but with Astou dressed in full traditional costume we arrived in the village to join in with the procession. Yep, she did look a bit like she was heading out to pick some cotton - but obviously she would have ended up working in the house!
There was Morris Dancing, bric-a-brac stalls, hot dogs, May Pole dancing and running races. A fantastic day which just confirmed for me all the reasons why I'm happy to be back in the UK. It only started raining just as we were leaving.
Oh - and of course Astou won the photography competition - and the running race.....
