Every summer, a week before the summer holidays start, Arnold has a travelling fair that comes to town.
The fair lasts for about four days and has a varied mix of small rides, dodgems, things that spin you and things that twirl you.
It also has an wide selection of fairground fayre available.
This lady runs a stall that serves lots of sweet toothed treats...crepes, slush, candy floss, sweets etc.
I asked the lady if I could take her picture. I explained I was an amateur photographer and she agreed for me to take a few quick shots. She asked if I could include the some of the stall details, so here she is with her candy floss, sweet dummies and crepe list
Edited in rawtherapee, with some adjustments for skin tones and tone mapping.
She used you for free advertising, Phil. Well it is tit for tat, I suppose. Having said that she is a sweet lady and you did her honour with your capture.
@busylady ahh judith, i must admit that i have never really ate candy floss , other than a little sample of someone else’s stick !! It was far too sweet and messy

My mother wouldn't let my sis and me have candyfloss - thought it was rubbish - seems she was right!!!! But I think we felt deprived.....
