Love Southsea Show 3rd July 2011.....

Great weather today for Louise and Fergie's Love Southsea Show at the Castle Fields. Had a stroll around the stalls and particularly liked the cake stalls (http://www.victoria-sponge.net/) then caught a few of the stage acts and very impresive they were too - included a brilliant forties swing trio called the The Three Belles (The Three Belles), Belly Dance South and the Mayville Band. I had to go at midday so disappointingly I couldn't see the rest of the bill but anyway here's a few images from the morning:

  A little disappointing but I guess we get used to ever more spectacular displays with the attached spectacular price tag....
