We experienced a Cotswold Village Fete yesterday, on the village green in Barton on the Heath, a small village about 4 miles from Moreton where you could may be tempted to buy a pint of beer or glass of wine, an ice cream cone, bbq'd hamburgers or sausages in a bun, or go for a "cream tea" in the village hall, buy vegetable and flower plants in the gardeners' corner, treat yourself to homemade baked goods like the delicious cupcakes shown above, or buy some second-hand books, children's toys and clothes, or a pre-owned funky bag. Kids could have their faces painted, take on a competitor in the "gladiator" competition, or get in on the milk the cow competition and spoon & egg races. There was a huge oak tree planted in the centre of the green on which brass plaques were affixed commemorating the Silver Jubilee of King George VI, Silver Jubilee of Queen Elizabeth and the marriage of Diana and Prince Charles.
