Wednesday, 9th November - Carnival night

hmmm......just looked out of the window - yuck its raining cats and dogs - ah!! Out with the wellies and waterproofs - carnival tonight!!

Some rain at the start BUT we had our huge WI umbrellas to keep us dry - also the fab green wigs Angela borrowed - certainly a different look!! We got the following: smiles, claps, waves and 'what the hell are you doing here' BUT we did it and it was fun and there were nine of us. 3 from Binegar, 4 from Leigh on Mendip and 2 from Milborne Port. Thanks to all who joined in and made it a fun evening.

Ears still ringing the music was so loud - but we sang along - danced a bit - twirled our brollies - shook our colour sticks and it was fun!! The evening was full of some fantastic outfits and magnificent carts - well done to the 'real competitors' - we were just visiting - maybe if we do it again we'll get more ambitious - novice entry this year!!

Thank you to the ladies of Milborne Port WI for their company & to Binegar WI for providing our glow sticks & warm green wigs as well as the photos afterwards! What a great night it was - boogeying through the streets of Shepton Mallet, swirling our umbrellas and having a laugh together!
