The other weekend I went to a big spring fair at Highnam House just west of Gloucester in aid of Gloucester Cathedral and a charity called Pied Piper.  Pied Piper support all sorts of projects but have just visited my wife's special school and presented them with two minibuses.  There were lots of things going on - morris dancing, brass bands, flower stalls, facer painting - all sorts.  And of course you could go round the extensive grounds which have lots of flowers, lakes and especially lots of wooden sculpture.  I really liked a group of yew trees which had died but instead of chopping them down they had been carved into beautiful sculptures where all the variegation of the wood comes out.  There was also an exhibition of vintage cars along with a few cars like the DeLorean from "Back to the Future".  I took a few photos of the cars, trying to get something slightly more interesting than the usual shot.  In the middle of taking these shots I noticed my reflection was in a lot of the shots, so I decided to deliberately take one where I made sure I was actually looking at the camera.  So I took the shot above with the camera held at waist height.  Hope you like it!
