MOREFEST
The anticipated bad weather hardly ever appeared and most of the weekend was enjoyed in dry , warm weather which contributed a lot to the enormous success of the festival.Thousands milled about enjoying the sounds , sights and smells of the harbourside and the air echoed to the sounds of gunfire as pirates attacked, cannons fired , aeroplanes roared past overhead and punters squealed as the big wheel turned and bungee bounced.
The FLIGHT SIMULATORS AND PARKED AEROPLANES DID A ROARING TRADE AS ENQUIRING MINDS AND WOULD BE PILOTS HAD A GO ...PERHAPS TRYING TO EMPATHISE WITH THE REAL PILOTS ABOUT TO ENTERTAINS US SPEEDS WE COULD JUST NOT HANDLE.
EVERY KIND OF FOOD WAS AVAILABLE AND, APART FROM THE USUAL FAVOURITES...BURGER..CHIPS..HARTLEYS..THERE WAS THE ADDED ATTRACTION OF FOREIGN MARKET STALLS WHICH WERE NOT ONLY EXCITINGLY COLOURFUL BUT OFFERED A WIDE ASSORTMENT OF GOODIES NOT AVAILABLE IN OUR HIGH STREET. WHILE OUR MYSTERIOUS VISITOR APPEARED TO HOVER ROUND THE STEAK BAR HIS ANIMAL COUNTERPARTS TOOK TO THE MORE EXOTIC OFFERINGS.
MOST ORDINARY MORTALS WENT FOR THE EXOTIC!!!!
THE DUTCH PANCAKES WERE JUST TOO HARD TO RESIST FOR SOME PEOPLE.
THE WHOLE WEEKEND WAS TRULY MARVELLOUS AND THE ORGANISERS DESERVE TO BE REWARDED IN A CUMBRIAN EQUIVALENT OF THE HONOURS LIST. EVERY ATTRACTION WAS A SUCCESS BUT IN ALL HONESTY THE AERIAL DISPLAYS REACHED PLACES WHERE NO BRAND OF LAGER COULD EVER GO. HOWEVER, LETS ALLOW ALL THE FOOD TO DIGEST BEFORE WE LOOK SKYWARDS.
