Nearly a Carnie
I was tagged recently for a ‘seven things you don’t know about me’ meme, I’ve been blogging for four years and I’ve done this meme a couple of times, I don’t think there are seven things you don’t know, so I have just one…
I could have ended up a carnie.
As teenagers my mum and dad both worked on a fairground, my dad on the waltzers, my mum on the hotdog stand. I love the waltzers and hot dogs, my mum often witters on reminisces about how she rode the waltzers (and motorbikes) whilst heavily pregnant with me, so I had my first experience of the watzers at a very young age 
Erin, myself and my mum headed for a large fairground last week in Kirkcaldy.
We drove out to Kirkcaldy taking the coastal route, the fair runs along the esplanade and is the largest British fair I’ve seen. Erin was hugely excited, mostly about candy floss but she also spotted a few rides she fancied having “a shot on” (so Scottish!). We headed for the bumper cars first, Erin’s first time on them and she was giggling a lot, even during the couple of head on collisions. Then it was a kid’s ride where Erin nabbed the pink barbie girl car (not a tad like me!).
Finally a spin on the teacups before we stopped for a hotdog and candy floss. I heart pictures of kids eating food
Whilst I bought some freshly made donuts Erin and my Mum headed for a ride on the carousel. I handed over four pound and received four pound change, that’s right my Mum failed to pay, she definitely should’ve been a carnie!
Before walking back to the car I spotted a photo op, I told my Mum I wanted a ‘carnie style’ photo of Erin, Daisy and myself with candy floss and prizes – I handed over my iPhone and what I got was three photos like this….
Good job Mum ;(
