I hope many of you enjoyed this wonderful fairground, when it visited Belair Park and Peckham Rye. Some wonderful family memories.


The final weekend is in Reading this Saturday and Sunday, it's up for sale as a whole with a hope that it will move to a static site.


The grown up family visited it last Saturday (this was expected to be the final weekend, but they have given it another weekend). Much of it is powered by steam engines, and the vintage trucks, caravans and even the old Morris ice cream van are wonderful. Carters generally did not attract the nasty element (can be a lot of bother at travelling fair grounds).


The music selection reminded me of my teen and pre teen days when the visiting fair two or three times a year was something to look forward to.

Not sure about that.... Last time I was at carter's when it came to Peckham I saw two boys (about 4 and 6) get into a punch up on a kids train ride about who got to 'drive' the train. The ride had to be stopped and the boys thrown off...


I will neither confirm nor deny that the boys may have been brothers and may have been my sons... I certainly walked away like I didn't know them.... 😂

      Vet recommendation

      By NewWave · Posted

      I don't know how it works now but my late parents had little money when they were retired (just state pension and they rented their flat) and they used to take their cat to the Blue Cross (In Victoria if I remember correctly) where treatment was free for those who could'nt afford a private vet. I sincerely hope similar is available still because for many elderly their pet is their main source of comfort and company.

      Be careful in local shops

      In a couple of places locally, I have come across this. I am fairly sure that they attempt to do the bill in their head. If you just say , “no, I think it’s x” they start again and get to an agreeable number, or find a calculator. I don’t think it’s a malicious attempt to swindle people. Just not great arithmetic.

      Bitey Fox.

      There are excellent charities like the Greenwich Wildlife Network who will help if you report any concerns with local wildlife. Foxes are wonderful creatures who had been forced into our town and cities and are just doing their best to survive, we should take care of them when we can.
