Last weekend was very busy. I went to both Acton Fete and also visited a number of the Open Gardens in Great Waldingfield.
The Fete in Acton goes from strength to strength. This year there were some 30 stalls etc., plus the horticultural and other exhibits, Officers from Babergh were manning their recycling tent and selling composting bins etc. They were giving away some remarkable devices which measure out helpings of spaghetti, thus avoiding the waste caused by cooking too much!
I managed to forget to take my camera along to the fete, but I did get some good shots of the Open Gardens.
Pictured above are Mike and Ann Stone, whose garden was very interesting with many unusual plants; other gardens that we visited, one of which is conserving an older type of telephone box; and also one of the other attractions in the village enjoying herself in a large puddle.
I am sorry that we did not manage to get round all the open gardens, but there simply wasn't time to do justice to all 10 venues.
