Yesterday we headed up to Regent's Park for the Innocents Village Fete. This year differed from the previous Fruitstocks; it was less of a music festival and more of a well, village fete. The weather always seems to be fantastic, and true to form, despite the most dismal summer we've seen for decades, the fete has coincided with a 2 day heatwave.
London is a pretty big village, and the place was packed.
Knitting wise, there was the usual campaign to knit woolly hats for Innocents, with a knitting tent run by Rowan.
Other entertainment we enjoyed included duck herding,
London Swing Dancing society demonstrations and lesson
the Yorkshire tea tent
and of course
My brother was particularly keen to see the ferret racing, but everywhere we asked, no-one could tell us where the ferrets were! Apparently they had been moved. Finally, a kind person from Innocents personally escorted us to the ferrets, where we arrived in time for the last races of the day!

WHY???? do Innocent get people to knit hats for their drinks?? I just don't get it. Why not cut straight to the chase and knit hats for older people that would have a purpose and be useful??
