Earlier this afternoon, on not so summery a day, along with my colleague, Cllr Simon Mountney and his two children Matthew and Eloise, I went along to the Lingham Primary School, Summer Fair.   

OK, before we go any further lets get the jokes out of the way!  I can hear you asking which one in the pic is the snake?    No its not the one standing up, its the one round my neck!   Although I am sure many will argue its not!  (Won’t they Denis)

Anyway the fair was well attended and as well as the usual stalls, cakes, sweets, lucky dip tombola, there was a small ‘Go Kart Track’, bouncey castle and for a pound you could take part in a balloon race, although I am not sure race is the right word more like endurance test to see which balloon can travel the furthest, hopefully someone, somewhere will return the tags they find and a winner can be declared.

By far the busiest and most popular stop was the ‘Reptile House’, (really one of the classrooms), anyway, Lizards, Scorpions, Frogs and Snakes were all on hand courtesy of the Wirral Herpetological Society.   The kids, parents and grandparents were all enthralled by the reptiles and amphibians, as can be seen here by Simon and his children.  Tomorrow its on to the Summer fair at Christ Church Primary School on Upton Road.   Hopefully see lots of people there.
