|
|
|
... even if not all of the chefs were true Indians |

Aston Abbotts must one of very few villages that can claim
to be home to a herd of Alpacas. What do you mean you don't know what an
alpaca is? See Livanti
Alpacas for more information |

The alpacas are always popular with the children ... |
|
|
|
... as is the face painting ... |
|
|
|
... The Lion Train ... |
|
|
|
.. . and many other games and treats |

Just time for a last minute browse of the remaining bric-a-brac
