Hello. I'm falling asleep in front of the keyboard here. I think it is the one hour of heating I treated myself to that's done it, turned it off now. Or could it be all the nattering I've been doing at the Christmas Fair. Here is me and Hilary, one of our crafty ladies.
Lots of lovely colourful displays. Seated is Carol, another crafty lady. She is manning the Village Hall stall, with her assistant.
All manner of stuff for sale.
Ali is selling her beautiful hand made wares. She is also one of our crafty ladies.
Blimey, they've piled that one high.
The busiest stall of the lot? The Womens Institute cake stall of course, and before you ask, no I didn't indulge. That's Judy handing over her dosh.
More cakes, such a lovely display.
And an overall view of the Village Hall. The Fair opened at 11am and closed at 3pm, and it was busy most of the time.
There was entertainment from the school choir, a local dance school, and the Scouts did a presentation. Santa put in an appearance, and there was a fancy dress competition for the small children. A pretty fairy won that. Refreshments were served, tea and coffee, sandwiches and cakes, and home made soup. All in all a great afternoon was had by all. A great effort by everyone, it's good to see the village community coming together. We didn't sell very much but I wasn't expecting to. Charities benefited by doing their own fundraising, and the Village Hall, which has to be self funding, also did well.
Now I'm going to chill. No alcohol tonight, haven't any in, a juice drink and a read of a book will suffice.
Hope your Saturday went well. Enjoy your Sunday. Toodle pip.
