I keep my blog as a personal record of what I'm up to, which might be seen as working towards "An elegant sufficiency, content, retirement, rural quiet, friendship, books, ease and alternate labour, useful life"

I'm certainly not there yet.  There is quite some way to go!

Showtime

 

I wasn’t the only one to visit a show today.  Whilst I was at Winchcombe, my friend Helen was at Glendale.  Only 300 miles away!

There were one or two black clouds when I arrived though and I feared the worst.  But somehow, it stayed dry whilst I was there, even if it was a bit chilly in that marquee!

I was there to judge the crafts and a fine selection there was, too.  Everything from a driftwood tree to a knitted mermaid, with a few beautiful patchwork quilts, knitted cardigans and embroidered cushions in the mix.  The picture above shows the “Over 80” class – I wondered if those were the grandchildren entered in the show?!

After I’d finished my work, I enjoyed taking a walk around the other entries, including the superb flowers.

But my favourite entry of all must be this dear little panda, with bag, towel and goggles, ready for her swim.  Looks like she won third prize in the “dress your teddy” class!

I too was at a show in Stratton yesterday. My highlight was a beautiful 2ply lace shawl. Showtime is really upon us now and I have several more lined up in the coming weeks.
