Lambeth Country Show 2015, Sat 18th and Sun 19th July

[Orang Utan]

There are cash machines on the top of "Mary Seacole Street' between the woo woo tent and the main arena? Not busy yet.

Not managed to get down this year either - have a good 'un and look forward to some pics later

I am absolutely furious that I have arranged to go on a date forgetting that this was this weekend.

And now I find out there's a god damn zip wire.

PS Is zip wire appropriate for a first date?

 

[leanderman]

Been trying to keep away from the cider tent and keep the kids amused without spending thousands.

If not, she's a wrong'un.

 

[Mr Moose]

We met the jousters in pizza express last night. They said they're on at 2 and 7

Did they order in Olde English and call the waitresses 'wenches'?

 

[leanderman]

Top work by the jousters.

Incredibly, Lambert rd on Brixton Hill is having a street party today.

At times like this, having three kids proves very costly.

My daughter had a lunch there, two fair ground rides, a ballon and a drink - about £15. that was just for her. my wife and i spent about £30 between. so that's fifty quid for a few hours at a country fair.

To spend all day there with three kids at least a oner!

Some bloke just got nicked by the main stage, then appeared to feign fainting!

Crikey. I haven't spent anything yet. Although I did being a couple of beers...

 

[Mr Retro]

Back too it was great. Same as I remember it more or less. Agree it's very very expensive. 2 smallish trays of food from the Vietnamese truck and 2 pints - £26.

 

[Maharani]

Queues for everything are a bit ridiculous. Defo feels like more people than past years.

 

[RubyToogood]

Managed to make it down for a bit today but bailed early due to getting over a nasty bug. Hope to stay for longer tomorrow.

 

[T & P]

Stuck at work But will go tomorrow.

I guess there isn't any nonsense about bring your own booze to the event? Last year there were some rumours to that effect, though on the day a lot of people including myself were able to drink without any bother.

I was down earlier with a few cans of Red Stripe (£1 each up New Pk Rd ). No problems and there were loads of people with their own.

Anyone know what time Odyssey are due onstage?

 

[Tricky Skills]

Here's the first BBuzz photo report from Day 1.

LOVED IT.

The crowds definitely seemed bigger this year. I think that this might be a combination of the weather and the later starting time. 11am always did seem a little silly.

Far too many highlights as ever. Sheep chap and his Abba dancing sheep raised a smile, as did the marriage proposal scarecrow. The veg sculptures are of course just BONKERS.

Little Veg Courgette

I somehow stayed Chucklehead free as well. Those queues...

Thanks. Totally useless to me though as we arrived 5min before they ended and had left before 7. Thanks, Lambeth.

No problem.

 

[Orang Utan]

Had a great time - but it was ridiculously crowded. hope to actually eat something and dance to some music tomorrow. Just sat by the cider tent all day!

 

[shygirl]

Had a lovely time there, and got to taste Chucklehead for the first time.

 

[Maharani]

Any urbs around in Tulse Hill now? I'm headed to the railway for the band.

[Rushy]

Well apart from someone smashing the window of my van and taking my stereo it's been a lovely day.

 

[Minnie_the_Minx]

I spotted someone



Turns out, I got same person later on without even realising



Was in t

 

[Mr Moose]

My god that was busy. Food choice purely on the basis of what queue I felt I could endure.

More knowledgeable about rare sheep breeds than I was.
