What time? I asked.
‘Round about three?’ said Felicity.
We were meeting at the funfair. Yea! I’d not won a goldfish or a cuddly toy for years!
I was a bit late – took the wrong exit from a roundabout. Now, where was she?
Someone called my name.
‘Oy, Keef!’
I spun round and about an inch from my nose was a cloud of pink candyfloss. It tilted sideways and Felicity pounced forward giving me a sticky kiss on the cheek.
We got dizzy on the roller-coaster, bobbed up and down on the roundabout and I won a coconut!
Such a perfect day…la-la-la…
Thanks to Rochelle for hosting and CEAyr for the picture which I took the liberty of flipping as we drive on the left here and I’m easily confused!
Kiss the frog to join in the fun!
…I’m glad I spent it with you…
Oy, Keef, flipping the photo confused the jings out of me!

I used to work in Basingstoke which is also known as doughnut city due to the number of roundabouts. People there wear out more left-hand front tyres than anywhere else in the country!

Here, East Kilbride is known as the Polo Mint City after all the roundabouts. Funnily enough, they don’t seem to do anything to help the flow of traffic around the place!

Another delightful tale, Keith. I thought of kissing the frog to see what would turn up, but I’m timid — and already married.

I’m not sure if they are allowed to give goldfish as prizes these days. I well remember taking one home in a plastic bag of water as a kid! Thanks for you lovely comment Penny.

this made me smile. When I was about ten years old, I won a Goldfish at a fun fair. I cared for the little fish as if it was the most important pet in the world.
I am not sure they give them out as prizes anymore. I haven’t been to a fair for years.

Such a fun child’s voice. The first sentence or two I thought it was a nostalgic adult but then the cloud of floss and impetuous kiss at eye level made me picture two wildly excited kids reveling at a fair they hadnt been to in a whole 12 months!! You captured the moment well, thanks for the vivid picture!
