Dieppe Festival de Cerf Volant: Sept 2008

John went and Alan went - ByeBye Blighty Dieppe, here we come 
Dieppe is Wonderful 
First thing to do is to register, get your badge and make friends with the Badge Ladies 
Here is the little house where John stayed with Anne and Roger 
Just peep around the corner of our street - KITES! 
So many Kite makers - These delightful ladies were from Austria 
Here is one of their kites - Music to the Eyes! 
Exquisite Kites made using Honesty seed cases - nice work JB! 
Peter Westergaard sent a lovely film of Minkey and his kite. Thank you Peter 
* click on the picture to see the film * Minkey soon starts to amaze the crowds and delight the children 
The Grand Parade with the most amazing Stilt Dancers 
Here they are later with their exotic Bird costumes 
* Click picture to see the film * Minkey makes friends wherever he goes 
Dressed for the occasion, Minkey is the life and soul of the party - of course 
Outside (for a smoke, of course), John saw this lovely moon 
Meanwhile, whilst John is outside, Minkey disgraces himself 
We walk home beside the harbour after the party 
Next morning, we find Minkey with his feet up on the fireplace 
What can you say? One day, we found the little fellow mounting a seagull - another time, swinging on a chandelier 
He certainly knows how to enjoy himself!!! Here is a view from our house - unusual, eh? 
La Mer - et les cailloux sur la plage 
Time to explore Old Dieppe... Here is the 18th century stagecoach terminus of the Dieppe-Rouen route Entrancence from the street 
The stables with accomodation for the drivers above 
It was here that John met Claudine Hardy; a lovely old lady who was eager to show him around 
Time to leave 13 Rue Des Cordiers 
Goodbye Dieppe .... à bientot 
Home on the ferry. Tired but happy -- very happy |
