Teddy Bear's Picnic
  Harlow children went down the park - to get a big surprise. Goldilocks was being chased around the park by an angry Baby Bear looking for his porridge. They both stopped long enough to join local mums and children enjoying the Teddy Bear's picnic. Click on image below to enlarge.

Harlow Show

  
     Harlow's Premier annual event was made extra special this year to celebrate the 60 Anniversary. The show kicked off at midday on 2nd August and kept nearly 20,000 entertained well into the balmy summer night. There was something for everyone to enjoy from rock climbing to horse riding and from wrestling to wolves and the grand finale: Bucks Fizz - no not the nasty orange fizzy stuff - the ever-so popular Eighties fizzy pop group!
