The Auld Lammas Fair

We went by bus to Ballycastle yesterday for the Auld lammas Fair.
It was a lovely day with just one shower when the waterproof jackets had to go on.
There was a big crowd as you can see in the photo.
These American Indians from Equador are always there selling their CDs of pan pipe music and jewellery. Sometimes they play for the crowd too although we didn't hear them play on this occasion.
There are always plenty of horses on offer. The sellers sometimes ride them to show them off to potential buyers. Many of them would be travelling people.
Of course there is the obligatory dulse and yellow man on sale too. This sign amused me. Note the use of the punctuation! Of course dad had to buy some "yella'man". It works wonders for your fillings!
This is my favourite shot of the day which shows Ballycastle beach. It looks secluded but behind me the noise is deafening - BBC radio broadcasting, line-dancers, street preachers, funfair, etc. etc.
