Maybe they'd find the fair more bearable if viewed from that fiddler's lofty vantage point. Certainly,long and Wholesale Cheap Designer Short Evening Dresses in every length from classic ball. its messy aftermath have many in this Georgian village ready to hit the roof. 

The troublesome tradition started back in Elizabethan times, when the McMurrough Kavanagh family of Borris House were handed down a charter to allow a sheep fair to happen there. Which it did for centuries; Maria Witherow, who runs Harmony Health Store in this country town, remembers her sheep-farming father going every year. He used to buy tools from a 'Cheap John', as the traders were called. 

Her father also brought home flowers for his wife. One year he presented her with a maidenhair fern. Its wispy leaves made a lasting impression, for it was one of the first plants Maria bought when she married.

Those hopeful of finding husbands weren't prepared to cover up outfits that barely covered them in the first place. So the weather couldn't deter these Traveller temptresses from strutting about in skin-tight dresses, fake-tan flesh quivering as they stumbled through puddles in neon-coloured stilettos. 

These Day-Glo damsels contrasted starkly with the sad-eyed and sodden horses shackled to railing or wall. I saw no sign of food or water for the animals. They looked exhausted, especially one group on the green exposed to the relentless rain. They lowered their heads together, as if comforting each other. 

A boy pulled one of the foals by its tail. "Is that one broke?" he wanted to know. Most of them looked fairly broken to me. I asked about the cuts on their faces and was told it was sunburn. There wasn't much chance of that in the torrential rain. Still, I bought four punnets of strawberries for a tenner as I left.
