This was a biggish craft fair, lots going on. There were jewellery stalls, cards, home made pastries, Belgian choc vendor, hog roast, funfair, and something we'd not seen before - a waterball pool... the children are zipped inside a ball and roll round like hamsters in a cage!!! It looks incredibly good fun, and made me wish I small enough have a go!
The best item there, I think, was the Charity sidestall for protection of injured birds of prey... such breathtaking beauty, I left Richard on our stall and made a beeline for this stall... birds with injured wings, missing eyes etc... the man looking after them was so informative.
There were a few people about, but not really a good footfall. Jam was our best seller this time. But the wind... oh boy, was it windy! We watched folk hanging on to their gazebos as they shook about. We were OK, Richard pegged ours down firmly, but look what happened to the gazebo behind us.......
Totally destroyed. The winds carried it over the next gazebo. No-one was injured, but the gazebo was a write-off. The poles broke in two, the cloth ripped right along its length. We have LEG WEIGHTS to hold our gazebo down, and I reinforce the need for these handy items. OK, they cost around £30 a set of 4, but for peace of mind, and protection of your gazebo and stall, we think they are a MUST.
