Over 50’s Day at Green Towers

I have been the volunteer photographer in the past years but I went this year as part of the general public.

Went around the information and craft stalls. Did some of the circus skills. Helped with the crafts. Sequence danced at the end of the day. Lots of coffee and biscuits.
