Looking back at this summer's Biddenden Tractorfest and one undoubted highlight for children of all ages ... a double bill of fun from TaDah Theatre Co

First up were a colourful bunch of pirates, struggling with both a sea monster and a tongue twister. Followed by the renowned circus "Troupe Tagliatelli", who showed us sword swallowing, horse jumping and juggling as you've never seen them before!

Looking back at Biddenden Tractorfest and the great range of stalls to browse this year!

Whether you wanted food treats, traditional countryside crafts or something a bit different, there was plenty to look at.

Pictured:

PJ Jones and their rather fine selection of hand carved walking sticks.

And some beautifully painted aeroplanes from Sussex Toy Craft.

Looking back at this year's Biddenden Tractorfest and this post is all about the people who make it special!

I love photographing people, so I'm always looking out for characters. People who love doing what they do, who just enjoy being themselves!

So a big shout out to Tim and Dennis, long standing fundraisers for Air Ambulance Charity Kent Surrey Sussex, who spent all day dancing to their favourite tunes. Also offering us some music was Vic Ellis, veteran one man band.

Looking back at Biddenden Tractorfest ...

The demonstration from Kent Falconry Centre was popular with the crowds. We were introduced to Norman, the diminutive Burrowing Owl plus several much larger birds!

But for me, the star of the show was young Amalie, who voluteered to run around the ring with a bird lure. Quite an experience!

Looking back at Biddenden Tractorfest from last month...

The showground includes several arenas and the first one you'll come across concentrates on animal demonstrations. This year, as a new dog owner myself, I enjoyed watching Cwnsaethu Gundog Training & Topgun K9 Fertility from Tenterden, with their demonstration of dog training.

Alas, our own mutt has got a way to go before he shows this level of attention!

Looking back at Biddenden Tractorfest from August.

One of the joys of Tractorfest is that, if you live in Biddenden itself, you can easily walk to the site. No need to follow the main road, instead you can enjoy fresh air and bird song by crossing the fields, using our well-maintained public footpaths.

Not quite sure of the way? No problem! For the third year, the ever helpful Tom Claykens organised a free guided walk on both days of the Fest. I was pleased to join adults, children, and quite a few dogs for an easy stroll and conversation, reaching the site almost before we knew it. Thanks, Tom!

Think of Biddenden Tractorfest and this is the sort of thing that will probably come to mind first! Tractors old and new, small and large. All lovingly looked after, including the Ferguson in the bottom photo, which I am told was the rarest tractor on the field.

But Tractorfest isn't JUST about tractors, as I will be showing in more photos over the next week or so...

The UK Bank Holiday weekend has got going with its traditional rain. So you may well have decided to stay in for another leisurely coffee. Here's a quick read about somewhere you might like to visit once the clouds have cleared.

I've written a short blog about my little home village of Biddenden. It will tell you what it's got to offer visitors, especially from the perspective of a photographer who's looking for something to point their camera at. And you might be surprised to hear that I found quite a variety of opportunities, even in a village that is not a lot more than two roads coming to a junction!

If you're in Kent, it might inspire you to visit Biddenden. Even if not, it might encourage you to look with fresh eyes around your own area, as I believe that every locality has something to offer.

If you DO decide to visit, fire me a message and we can go for a coffee after you've had your mooch around!
