We are the village green preservation society, God save strawberry jam and all the different varieties. Preserving the old ways from being abused, protecting the new ways for me and for you.God save tudor houses, antique tables and billiards, God save little shops, china cups and the Village Green. Thank you to the Kinks for summing up what life is still like in a village in the United Kingdom, in my case Buckinghamshire. Yes all this still happens in these little pockets where time stood still.
British summer fetes are in full swing, the one in my village takes place this weekend. Heres some photos I took in previous years to give you a taste of what to expect.
Have a lovely time if you make it along to a village fete this weekend. The Morris Dancers featured here are called The Aldbury Morris Men
