The Parmiter's Craft Fair (Fayre?) has been a staple in the Mitchell/Mitchell-Packington/ Packington household for years. Each year, Mum goes along and returns (a little tipsy from the mulled wine) with some homemade cakes, a knick-knack or two and having seen all the people she used to teach with.
This year, Alec, Sarah (his fabulous gf) and Maia accompanied Mum on her trip.
Maia took to the mulled wine and mince pie stall with gusto, demolishing a mince pie in record time. She didn't seem to notice that her mulled wine was suspiciously water-like, or if she did, she didn't mind.
Wandering around the various stalls brought out the magpie in her, as she went for every shiny, silvery, sparkly thing that caught her eye.
Next, she spotted the face painting stall. Enthralled, she demanded to have her face painted. Did she want a flower? No. Did she want to be a tiger? No. She wanted to be a rabbit.
"A rabbit? Are you sure? Ok then..."
So, very patiently, she sat still until the transformation was complete.
Later on, her magpie eyes spotted a fabulously shiny, silvery and sparkly tiara. For only 10p she was transformed into Princess Rabbit, and would answer to nothing else all day.
