  5. As a pescotarian, some of those they were selling appealed to me. However, you are right - way too expensive. Is it ok if I brought my own food to the fair? :D

    Sorry for not visiting sooner. I was away for 3 days. Thanks for visiting Norwich Daily Photo and leaving your comment. Come back tomorrow for a new series!
