Out and About with the Creative Co-op

The first weekend in August has been the time for the Llammas Festival for the past ten years here in Eastbourne. The Creative Co-op always tries to have a prescence and this year I again put in an appearance. Here I am, all dressed up and ready to go:

The Llammas Festival is always a good day out, with lots for all the family. As usual, the sun came out and so did the crowds and a good time was had by all!
