Wet socks

 It rained very heavily this afternoon, mostly when I was unpacking the car and then again when I went back to it, and then twice as hard when I was driving home.  My favourite trainers gave up the ghost and took on board water and I have had soaking feet all afternoon.  Another expense!  I went up into the attic to move something this morning, and thought I had cracked the craft light problem when I found a display light which clamps on your stand.  But no, the bulb had gone and took ten minutes to try and unscrew (it fits tightly into holder).  The air was blue . . .

On the positive side I saw two lots of 2 Magpies (good luck I hope) and I am opposite the people I was stalled out next to at Builth.  A lovely couple and they will look after my stand when I need the loo etc.  I have promised them cake.  Helen, one of our old antiquey friends, helped me unload too, bless her.  They have a huge stall, double and a doorway, so I imagine unpacking and packing up takes hours for them.  

Here are a few photos of other people's stands:

This is a stupendous display of blue and white.  If you collect it, you would be quite overwhelmed by the choice.

Mr Chair Man's stand.

They must have a big van for this lot, and a strong chap to do all the lifting.

I think these are some of the Organizer's lovely things.

These are Other Jen's lovely felted pictures.  She seems to sell out at every Fair, and there's only her doing them so she must work the night shift!!  A lovely lady, who stood up for me when I was being bullied last year.  These sheep ones sell well as lots of sheep farmers in Wales!

Aren't they lovely?  

Well, I enjoyed the drive there as it was dry, and all the Catkins are out on the Hazels, and masses of Snowdrops on the verges and in hedgerows.  SO pretty.  When I got to the Fair, there were lots of Daffodils out.  It's quite sheltered there and they flower early.

Right, fingers crossed for me tomorrow and a shame I'm not a jewellery specialist as they are about the only ones taking the money when everyone is skint.  Savvy folk always have money for jewellery.
