Where would you find lipstick, freshly cooked donuts and candy floss in the same spot? In a village fair, of course! It was twilight - the mysterious hour between day and night, which our beloved Edward Cullen enjoys so much. Here I am at the Liopetri Ferragosto (Δεκαπενταύγουστος) fair on Monday. It was such fun!!!
Having always associated fairs with fairy tales and magic, I decided to figure out why. I came up with the following:
1. The traditional English ballad Scarborough Fair, which has its origins in elfish lore and the distant past.
2. The origins of the fair, which go back to antiquity, when there were still fortune tellers and story tellers and much mystery!
3. The film Big, where Tom Hanks is granted a very peculiar wish by a machine wizard at a fair. And, last but not least,
4. My own imagination, which has registered the fair as a fantastical and magic event, perhaps for no reason at all 😀

I rarely go to fairs nowadays, because I get claustrophobic and nauseous in crowds. When we went at Liopetri the other day, it was the perfect hour - dusk, with few people around.
Tonight we have the beautiful August full moon. Enjoy, it comes only once a year! Xxx 🌚🌑🌏
