    This was a fantastic vlog Jessie. It was nice to see your whole evening rather than just shots of the carnival floats. Your camera worked well in the low light i thought.The work that had gone into these floats was stunning. They must of took monthes to make. i am hoping to go to the one in The City Of Wells this Friday. It does look like an amazing night out. The fish n chips looked very tasty. Taking the train was a good ideal as car parking must of been a nightmare.

      Thanks Martin, I cranked some settings in DaVinci Resolve for the worst effected bits but it couldn't fix the flickering lights (though the paid version might have been able to). Totally agree about how long it must take to put the carts together. Enjoy the Wells Carnival - I'm sure it'll be equally good 😊

      I tend to stick to the ground too - though I do get tempted by the smaller rides from time to time. 😊

    Love Barry island as it’s our local fair looks so empty down the one end without top scan and aerospace there’s a video on my channel I took a few weeks ago if you want to see where the rides normally are also got some on ride footage

    • @JessesGrandDaysOut
      @JessesGrandDaysOut Місяць тому

      It definitely feels empty at one end, though the fair as a whole was bigger than I was expecting - I'll check out your video 😊

    I think I your video is more appealing to me than the fair itself. They are a bit noisy & crowded for me. Thanks Jesse.

    Fairground is a dump nowadays and the owner cant be arsed to sort it out as he rather disturb the peace of dying children to selfishly build a so called holiday park. Cos the mans only interest in money

    Ah! Nice to see Barry Island fair again! I used to love going there as a child. I remember the log flume well, but there were no dryers in those days!

    It's not a bad little fair in Barry. Loved the pirates & the log flume dryer was a good idea. I used to goto Barry when I was a child & we would stay at the Butlins holiday camp which was on the hill just up the hill from the fair. It's now a housing estate. 😊

    • @JessesGrandDaysOut
      @JessesGrandDaysOut Місяць тому

      Me too - I thought the dryers were a nice touch. I walked around Barry Island earlier in the day - there's an information board talking about the Butlins on the site, it's a shame it's now housing though.
