Festival

At first glance, to the uninitiated, it could be mistaken that the Regulars has set out for a healthy weekend's hike:





















But only when a beer tent was in sight:















Unlike at a recent festival Tubthumper was caught by surprise in an unexpected food-sharing moment.

But all in all another fabulous Barton Beer Festival had by all.
