Mentioning upcoming events before they happen is, I think, what most good business people (and shrewd bloggers) do. It is obvious to me that I am neither a good business person or a shrewd blogger but I am hoping that posting post event news is better than posting no news at all.
It was the Mersea Island NSPCC Christmas Fair on Saturday and I had a stall -actually it was a trestle table- but after covering it with stuff and adding an easel and a washing line (complete with pegged-out cards) my little space did indeed look quite stall-like. A huge thankyou to everyone who braved the grotty weather and made it such a jolly hub of friendly folk, especially to Jane and all the stalwart NSPCC girls for their endless organising.
Saturday night was full of crashes, bangs and whistling rigging; my wheelbarrow somersaulted across the garden. I think Mr Beaufort may have described the breeze as one in which a man-of-war must carry close-reefed topsails when in chase, full and by. Full and by- I love that! There was still a strong gale blowing on the Sunday morning when we launched the lifeboat on exercise. Heavy weather handling is always fun- no more cobwebs.
