Our village was photographed a couple of weeks after the annual gala day.   Go to 11 Third Street, Newtongrange (our house), look across the street at number 24, and it still says "PAGE BOY" over the door, the remains of a very elaborate tableau in the front garden (a zoo with papier mache animals including a ten-foot-high giraffe).

People spend a fortune on these decorations when their kids have a part to play - despite ordering a car-sized pallet of it, the local supermarket always runs out of toilet paper from the mass of paper flowers that get tied to the railings.
