This week: All on a Summer's Day
They are as much a part of the English summer as rain, traffic jams, and school holidays-fetes. And in the village of Stoke St. Gregory, Somerset, the fete that they have planned, discussed, and argued about for months finally takes place. The organisers organise: their opponents criticise. Feelings flare into the open over the beauty queen competition, and the sandwiches run out half-way through the afternoon. Ponies and gymkhana events; sideshows and opening speeches. Behind the scenes the quarrels and panics. Who gets the credit if it's a success? Who gets the blame if it's a failure?
