It was quite magical and a real thrill. Unfortunately, I was feeling very low at the time so I never took a camera or even as much notice as I wish I had done, I would love another go but not as one of 25 in a big bunch.

Further back and far away, the farm I was working on was the venue for a World Ploughing match, what a jamboree. One of the most impressive sights was a slim young lady arrived, flung out a small hot air balloon and inflated it very quickly and flew off, advertising Nimble bread, made from knitted pubic hair by the texture of it.

Was her name Maggie?
