Barton Village Day

Alan October 19, 2016 October 20, 2016

Before moving to Portugal we lived in Barton, a quintessentially English village, 3 miles from Cambridge. Each year they have a village day, the main part of which is the Barton Gardeners Annual Show in a marquee on the village wreck. The villagers can exhibit their work from flowers to photographs, from vegetables to cakes. Competition is very keen for the several trophies presented for the best exhibits.

In 2013 I was recruited to shoot the evening entertainment which was provided by ABandandADJ.
