tug o’war, the cross-coun­ try, egg throwing, the wellie throwing. Occasionally they took shelter in the marquee to play table tennis, to limbo dance and to feast on the su­ perb array of cakes provided • by villagers.


■ Remarkably everyone had a great afternoon, including the winners of the children’s fancy dress competition, based on the theme of “Gar- nival” because England will be competing in Brazil in the next weeks, so there were lots of Brazilian flags and their col- ours of yellow and green to go


with our English white and red. In the evening, sunny for


the first part, a good crowd gathered for the Carnival Bash and several thoroughly en­ joyed being taught how to sal­

ganisers commented: “We make our own sunshine in Grindleton! We know how to
