Well, its the big moment now and things are going to get a risk and also nice to finally see something new out for this, well there were a FAIR bit of technical hitches for the most part and well the vlog is below of what I managed to capture in. But with over a fair amount of time. So we now start the big day, even 2 weeks later for the vlog to be uploaded.
The Morning:
Getting into Tavi
So, it was walking up after sleeping at 4am and then getting up around the 7am - 8am mark which Dad was insisting to drop me off to a degree since of his regular customer where um normal drops me off to Tavi, since I should have e gotten the bus but it was easier for him to do this. But by about 8:30 I was up and ready to go with filming equipment and laptop in rucksack for this moment of the big filming, glasses were mostly full on battery wise and the weather was looking good for a change.
The start of the drive to Tavi in the day.
But then it got to the queues as we got to spar, so Dad dropped me off and of all things I remember i had a thing to drop off to a customer and that meant it was going to be dropped off and ended up going to sort a passport renewal out of all things. But that then finished about the 9:30am mark to rush to the shop to unload and prepare the filming with the Phone and glasses charged up.
The shop to sort out:
But then it was setting things up like making sure the SD card was empty. It was not so i had to wipe the card but the Realtek Card reader in the Clevo laptop was not up to scratch so had to reinstall the driver. But then it was 10:20 and time to start filming and explore the fair.
But i got in the shop and was time to clear some bits out to make some room, stock and some parts off the table and the laptop unbagged to make this shit start to actually work out. I changed the wallet to make sure NFC was blocked which a wallet from a Christmas present was actually. I started to film and well you know, it was just for the smaller things really.
But it was time to film.
The
The First Attempt.
So if im remembering, it was time to go out and get this done. So we begin to explore from passing airband to even passing stores with plaques on and well it it was not as far reaching stalls as it could have been but a nice amount was to be shown off. But exploring stalls from Headsets to the derp memes of sonic and knuckles and then it was passing other food before was supposed to be going up the hill to the cattle market. Turns out i was recording myself walking up there and didn't even know if it got any footage from what i did before.
REWIND
I ran back down to the shop and checked the clips out and it did miss some of them when filming. So my anger means we formatted the card and started again. So it was to repeat the beginning of the vlog to see how things go and end up becoming a bit more organised with it.
Time to explore:
Passing the stalls and making our way up to the cattle market, with seeing non derped plushies of sonic and the plaques as well as the times of the other stalls on thaty side road before the walk to the cattle market. But eventually walking up there was going to lead me there by 11am.
The Cattle market:
I got there and it pretty much turned out to be quite interesting with some of the stalls, from the local bread stall to even milk bottoms that look like the rainbow on that side of things hence that quote from the clip of that trader to match my shirt of the each colour to match my sdhirt. But itr had its famuilalr ring to see the area with some of the same style stalls returning back from 2019./
The View as looking in
But as we passed, it was to enter the parts to see ponies and calf's enjoying some hey and the usual habits for that is seen on most occasions. But they seemed to be content.
The calfs
So it then leads to exiting that and getting to the closer part of the actual barn, but we passed more socks, a farm shop i've cycled to a few times and seeing the coffee cake that was there. Plus they did even ankle fishing boots too. But passing that by and even some charity stalls to the return of the beagles. .
The beagles being sleepy
But then it leads to the aspects of entering the barn to see what is in there, birds this year will not be there due to the aviation flu that is going around ,so it means it can be no birds shown. So it was a mix of goats and lambs to be in the semi warm. But it was showing some of the farms they were coming from too.
The lambs
Bless them
AS i explored and see, it was time to venture out and a big stall of juice from Tavi College, so it means to down a free sample and maybe considering support to the school that had not got a bad ofsted rating and the PE teacher is now the principal. But bless the kid for having high hopes for trying to get me to buy a bottle of fresh pressed apple juice for £4. But that was my cue to the exit and time to head to the square.
A view of the yard
So with the guess of getting up that hill then it means to sort out the time of well the exploring of the roads and the stalls, I had to go with the flow on this one to fine out if the footage was going to work or not.
The Road and Square.
We carry on and walk our way to the square which some nice extra side of the stalls and it was finding what could be there, some things always will be the same such as the food stalls and the jumpers and hoodies. But we start to see the caoursel on the car park and a fun house.

More of the prize stalls
But it ends up time to finally walk up that road of mile to see how it goes and what to explore. So as i walked up, passing some of the tat, the animal hoodies, rick and morty wallets and also bucket hats was a seasonal aspect from the sound of it. But it was also the end of seeing the auction truck of Phil Saunders too. But as we approached the amusements it was time to play some monopoly slots which was gamble £1, win a £1 so it was not really a profit, since i broke even.

The Amusements
Then it was time to continue walking up, since there were some more ideas of crafts, some food ideas and the same as further down like the Plushies of game characters, Bucket hats but there was even was a chance of seeing Anon masks which was a new one, even if it was chromed up, choom.
The views as we keep walking
We end up carrying on and it was soon to look near the twister, and since i was not sure on the glasses, it weas not the time to end up checking that, so I looked at the little mini hardware stall, making that mental note for what to get later on. Then it was time to turn left.
The Sizzler
The Fairground,
So i got there and it was not fully packed but it was loud and the usual vibe and smells of the engines and donuts. But there was a nice sign of most going on and just enjoy the pics since it was a quick few minutes of exploring before our journey continues.

So it was then time to head back to the road and continue the journey.
Time To head up the road:
So we turn left by the bus station and walk our way back up to the roundabout, so it was first seeing the stalls and the slushie stand, the candy stalls were having strobe light. Then it was chatting to a guy about fudge and he was clearing slowly but surely his bags of fudge. But Yorkshire pudding wraps are a trend of pengness these days too.
The Yorkshire pudding wraps on the left
But it was then passing another stall of tech and goods and even some usb cables to earphones and even gaming controllers was a nice touch, later we see the xbox series elite controllers for, begores that w3as nice to see and a good value too. But it was open box so a risk on itself. But then it was time to head towards the food court which is known as the food and drinks zone.
The food and drinks zone
Now this was more spaced out for the most part which, gave me the indication of a bit less stalls but some interesting ones like the rattlers and also a Mexican food stand but the cost of living has made chips rocket to like £4 for a special skin on style with the extras dipping on top for a price like woah. But then we walked on and it was some more food stalls and a bit of others. But it was then time to get to the end which was very near. But it eas also cute earrings to see how it looks too.
The ear-rings and festive jewellery.
But then it was time to make our way back.
The purchases on thew way back:
So it was time to head back and get things on the way, which it was nearing the midday to 1pm vibe and usually this time, it would be the times to get the food and go home, now this wont happen so it means to go back to the shop. But we first go back to the stall with the tools and parts and spend £5 on batteries, cables ties, tweezer and that's about it.
The £5 on scissors, Batteries, Cables ties and even tweezer
Then we head back to the square, it was getting to pass the stardust and another £1 spent but lost this time on a deal or no deal slot machine. But then it headed off to get some shortbread which is a tradition to then send of to suppliers as a thank you,
The Shortbread of £4 for £10
But then it was time to go to the square to explore options of what food to go for which was the case in point. Normally its a donut burger but i didn't fancy doughnuts since the taste has been off for me recently. So explore pics pics of the square while i was deciding what to use for lunch. That and chatting to people at airband and advising me not to change from Smarty since pricing wise as about the same as them.

Time for lunch
Now we start to really make the choice of going for something, in this case it was going to be a bacon waffle burger. So the trick was to find waffles, and we had to venture further up towards the Bedford. But then that was the start of it and it was £4 each waffle. Total was £8
Then it was to go back to the square and get a bacon burger, this was £4.50 BUT it ended up being the case of they got the order mixed up and gave me a bacon cheeseburger instead. So having to wait a bit longer to get a normal bacon burger is the wait. But then that was delivered and the making of it appears here.
So it was then back to the shop and the time to get the laptop setup for editing, it was ending up around the 2pm at this point mark, especially as the timings to get this done was insane and turning out i was going to take MUCH longer than i expected it to handle. This laptop was going to be put through its paces, but you will find out how much so.

Editing was going to be for the next 6 hours on that day.
The bereal
So that ends that and we catch up soon for the evening.
So its back to the Day of the fair, with the lush weather and the day off to get this filmed up, sure I had work commitments for parts of it and also #dogwalkingwithomracer. But enjoy a vlog of browsing and the sun too.
A Typed up fresh morning.
So after the antics of the night before, I was a bit later in bed with a FAP. but rewarded too oh and speaking on snap to someone amazing i've been chatting too over time, but it was then time to get up at 9:30 before it was time to get the blogpost finished off and got myself changed and ready..
A Smoothie before i started.
Then it was finally up and I was leaving by 10:30, time to run in the slight chill, with 2 T-shirts on and I ran down the hill, actually the same Route i run to work in, which is about a 10 minute but halfway along, I decided to start the vlog as I made my way down.
A Morning explore
As i walked down, with sweat on my face, I made my way to the back of Market Road, with so many different stalls fron the bakery with Rainbow Cake and other treats to the Churros and even passing a welshcake stall. But there was loads of good ideas at the least of it. But I walked my way that way to see work before i carried on my journey.

The Big Wheel and the Stands

Amazing bargains on food

Then I headed for work, caught up chatting to Neighbours and also killing time before I really got my way back up to the cattle market, with seeing stalls such as pots, bongs, rizzlers, fortnite merch and even mac n cheese.
Walking the way back to the square
The Half Cattle Market
As I walked my way up to the cattle market, the pavement was getting pretty packed but I got up and it was a bit emptier than normal, maybe it was too early but it was nice to see a varied bits of stalls from the photo booths to the charity stalls, bread stalls and even a stall where Turbo Nonces and Doc Martins were sold as well.
The Signs of the Geese
Walking around
Cute Al Pacas
The Beagle boys, actually pups
AS i walked in to the shed, i noticed it felt quieter than last year, it turns out on HALF as much were on offer than other years. But Geese and Chickens were around and also sheep on leads. But the pony in the sale room was cute i must admit.

Then it was finally time to head back to the fair by about 11:20 for the long walk back through the fair mile.
The browse in the sun.
Well it was a long browse indeed and so many stalls to explore and I decided to finally get a welsh cake to take home with me, only a sweet one for a quid but it helped me experience the taste of one for the first time. Then more fortnite merch and the usual stalls appear. Then I went into the amusements, I even taught a kid how to play on a fruit machine, but it was time to get the bit to the square
The view looking down to the square
The shweet welshcakes for £1.00 each
Then it got to the auctioneers, with a fair bit of crowds of various tat from the Saunders bloke But the crowds were buying for sure. From toys to other bits too.

The Geofilter survives
But then it was carrying on and seeing the stalls, ,like more fortnite merch was overload, but something with Epic Games not putting copyright for licensing, (about to change with what i had heard today) but still something that will be worth looking into.
The mass of fortnite merch
Then it was seeing sweet stalls with 3 for 2 on kiplings and even cadbury Oreo sandwiches. Bit then I explored my way to the Bus station and it turns out the Sizzler is here this year instead of a Carousel like the classic days but that inflatable hat is cool, But then it was time for the Fair.

Looking towards the bus station.
The midday Fair
So, its nearing 12, the walk to the fair is always busy in one way, with the power of the rides giving thrills to us all, but there was alot of gaps and space, so it was no way crowded. But I also enjoyed a bit of hoop throwing. That failed badly but I enjoyed it before I made my way out and back on the road to carry on the exploration. I only saw a customer or two i think.

Then it was the walk over to the next round of stalls.
A stallful walk back
But then it was time to walk back to the home with the road in front of me, which had so much choice of stalls, from clothes of LGBTQ+ from nepal to the food vans passing. But not much looked at my eye minus phone stalls, Fortnite merch and the lollipop heaven.

The buying of lunch.
So, it was nearing the end of the vlog by 12:30 and I was deciding on how to spend exactly 10 quid on lunch which was a hard goal, But i got to the 3 stalls near each other ot make it happen. Donuts for £3.00, Chips and BBQ sauce for £4.00 and £3.00 for a burger.
The donuts was quick and easy, no hassle there, the was a short wait for the donuts, but it really got me excited to see if this will work.
This is the view from the noodle
Then we go to the Noodle bar, which was nice and the chap was asking about Glass which was cool while I was waiting for the £4.00 chips and BBQ Sauce.
The Noodle Bar
Then it was finally the time to get the food van whch the rep asked what i wanted and then I said about the burger and he managed to get £0.50 off the burger and then he made a joke about not taking a holiday so I said about not having a holiday/week off, so he took it easily on me. But nicely worth the £3.00.
The burger van i visited
Then it was time to head off home to get this up, walk a dog and call suppliers while flirting with girls on snap. But there you go. Now enjoy the other vlog
