Alton Craft Market....

Well I managed to get through the trauma of doing a craft market and putting up a gazebo... not sure why I stress so much but there you go!! As I was being a bit 'special' some nice people helped...

Was very pleased with the way it went - sold quite a few things and will now be doing October, November and December - maybe I won't stress so much next time!! Having said that I am sure I will...

I took a photo of my stall but next time will be a bit different... someone suggested putting chicken wire on there and jute or something similar behind - when I tested it out and took photos my plain cream curtains were the background - slightly different from a shop window!!


Have spent today updating the website - still only half way there but there is still quite a lot of new stuff. Maybe I will be able to get a lot of photos done tomorrow and get the rest of the website updated!!

Fleet Pond Manoeuvres!

Just back from walking the devil dog... it was very beautiful there this morning, slightly misty and spooky. I did try and get a pic with my phone but taking a photo when you have the dog from hell on the end of a lead is a bit of a nightmare!! Thought you might like to see a couple of old ones that I took when I had Molly the lazy black lab instead of the devil incarnate!


Now one might presume that walking the dog at 6 am you would not meet anyone at all...wrong!! This morning the world and its cat appeared to be walking their dog - hence the manoeuveres... at one point I ended up clambouring up a steep hill and climbing over a fence to avoid someone and their dog. I should explain here - Biscuit is like Scooby Doo and is scared of everything, but instead of laying low she barks to warn them off and draws attention to herself - complete nightmare!! She would also quite likes to chase cyclists and joggers... I think I need to find a dog whisperer to whisper in her ear!!

Off to London today to see Peter Pan in Kensington Gardens, really looking forward to it as it was my favourite ride at Euro Disney and apparently there is a bit in there where it is really like flying over London...

New Baby!!

A friend had her first baby today - Elouise Natasha was born at 5.08am, weighing 6lb 15ozs and she is gorgeous!! Congratulations Natasha and Martin...


Have made a keepsake garland for them today - hope they like it!! Will be putting it in the post tomorrow - hoping Royal Mail will manage to get it there slightly quicker than their recent efforts... a donkey would be faster!!
