West Berks Winter Fun


George the Biscuit Man was here





At the end of January, the LibDems has a nice walk in West Ilskey along a sheep Drove.  East Ilsley's sheep fair was for centuries a major draw. It was the second largest in the UK after London's Smithfield market, and in the 1880's around 20,000 sheep were changing hands in a single day. It finished in 1934 but was resurrected in 1974 as more of a village fete.

Also in January, I was Uber Meg for the beer scoring in Chaddleworth, ending up at  Wickham.  Other drinks, I walk
