We’ve had a busy day with hammers, paint and elastic building the stalls and attractions for Saturday’s fête. We’ve built Splat the Rat, and Dirty Eric’s Dart-o-rama:
Four darts, winner scores the best three-card brag hand…
And we had a go at Teddy Bear Bungee:
Not the most elegant, but we’ll get there. Video features Graham Bear, who has been my only friend since I was 14.
Bring your favourite bear to the Summer Fête on the 28th of August, where for the tiny sum of 5op he can experience the unfettered thrill of bungee jumping.

No village gathering is complete without a chance to show off the size of your spuds, or the shape of your marrows. In keeping with tradition visitors to the Dirty Bristow Summer Fête can bring their legumes, tubers and other classes of veg or fruit to be judged for the grand prize.
Entries will be judged on size, quality* and presentation — feel free to dress them up, or construct carrot dioramas representing famous historical events. See for example this scene depicting Thor Heyerdahl arriving at Tuamotu Archipelago on the Kon-Tiki:
Just look at his big carroty member.
Sat 28th August from 6pm ’til Late
At The Edge, Cheapside, Digbeth.
Tickets £5
Tickets will appear in your shopping basket, right >

*well, we’ve no experience in this so as long as they look nice. We’re also not sure how you would make sure that they were home grown, so there’s not much stopping you popping to Lidil on the day of the fête.
