Bungo in the Lanes - 2008

I went to 'Bungo in the Lanes' for the first time last year and had a great day. This year the residents of strathbungo will host 'Bungo' on the 24th of June [1PM - 4PM]. Bungo in the Lanes will now form part of the Southside festival being held throughout the month of June.

Last year we enjoyed organic burgers, pakora from shimla pinks and some delicious strawberry/cream scones. We also bought a couple of used books, some honey and some conkers.
