This is the first one of my new 'Gig Foofies' series. This series will show you on this and the next Foofy Fridays some detailed images of with flowers decorated gigs.

Decorating a gig is a traditional custom, still in use (and cherished), by the wives or partners of Zeeland farmers. The images of this series are taken on the July 2016 gig ride in Middelburg, Zeeland, The Netherlands.

To know more about a gig ride event, please read the narrative of THIS ONE.

I love this way of decorating the rigs Mr. C. - and these would be perfect to take the bride to the church for a wedding and take the happy couple away after. Really charming and I do remember your post about this custom but re-read it anyway as it is so very interesting.
