Day 3 of the Jubilee Celebration dawned cool and wet again, and I realized that I had packed totally the wrong footwear for jubilee celebrations in England. So when we popped out for some provisions I picked up something more suitable.
Luckily the clouds slowly cleared as we walked up through the woods to Chipperfield Common. Along the way, there was a spectacular old sweet chestnut tree which has been there since Henry the VIII used to ride pass when he hunted in the area.
Howard took us on a circuitous route and eventually we came out of the woods on to Chipperfield common. What greeted us was an old fashioned village fair which reminded me very much of the Ioco ghost town days in port moody
There were some obvious differences, there was a bar serving beer and Pimms so that you could enjoy a beverage while going around the grounds.
My personal favourite was Would Jubileve it real ale, though not being a beer drinker I ordered a Pimms. we then moved on to the Hog roast, this is something I think we should include in the Ioco Day celebrations.
