Out & About

Sooooooo.... Yesterday, for the first time in more than 3 months, I went out!

There was a craft fair in town (the second this year, I had to miss the first), so I did a bit of shopping then wandered around the marquee and the outside stalls. Some lovely things on sale - I bought a few small things as gifts, then was incredibly naughty and spent more than I should have at my friend Ellie's stall, on a silver ring set with a deep red, oval garnet. It's beautiful! Didn't see Ellie though, as she's selling her jewellery at Glastonbury this weekend.

By the time I got home I was completely knackered. At least life is starting to get back to something resembling normal now the workmen have just about finished. Perhaps I'll be able to go out a bit more often now. But not until my legs stop aching!

WoooHooo! Good for you. I'm jealous, we don't have craft fairs any where near where I live. I miss going to them. Glad to hear the work on your house is almost done

It was good, but exhausting and stressful, as going anywhere always is for me. We're lucky these days as the council allows a craft fair in the suare every two months throughout summer and autumn, and sometimes we get an extra one. There will be stalls at the summer carnival in a couple of weeks too, so I hope I'll be able to get to that, though it's a bit further and cycling does me in these days. Arthritis has a lot to answer for!

The things for sale are very high quality - jewellery, wood craft, handmade cards, knitted and crocheted things, handmade pottery and glassware, paintings, photography, home made, additive free soaps and creams... You really never know what will be there, different stalls every time as the stallholders sell their crafts all over the country and have to choose which fairs to attend! I even got home made Rhubarb and Ginger Jam! Yum! My legs are suffering though...
